A set of educational materials intended to supplement a second-year medical school neuroscience course.

 

If you are currently using this to study neuroanatomy, I would request that you direct any questions to me through the Neuroanatomy User Forum on FrontalCortex.com. 

 

To study anatomy, you will need a textbook and an atlas. The atlas I recommend is Haines:

Recommended atlas: Haines, Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems. (ISBN:1605476536)

For a textbook, I recommend Nolte. However, many students find it to be too dense, too complete. An alternative textbook you may prefer is Blumenfeld's Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases.

Recommended text: Nolte, The Human Brain. (ISBN:0323041310)

Alternative text: Blumenfeld, Neuroanatomy through Clinical Cases. (ISBN:0878936130)

This resource will be frequently updated.  I will continue to add material from September through December.  Check back frequently.
