Review & Description

Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It, Second Edition teaches neuroanatomy in a purely kinesthetic way. In using this book, the reader draws each neuroanatomical pathway and structure, and in the process, creates memorable and reproducible schematics for the various learning points in Neuroanatomy in a hands-on, enjoyable and highly effective manner. In addition to this unique method, Neuroanatomy: Draw it to Know It also provides a remarkable repository of reference materials, including numerous anatomic and radiographic brain images, muscle-testing photographs, and illustrations from many other classic texts, which enhance the learning experience.

In the second edition of this new classic, the author adds "Know-It" points to each chapter, providing high yield learning methods which separate the essential from the advanced topics. No other text in neuroanatomy engages the reader in as direct a manner as this book and none covers the advanced level of detail found while retaining the simplistic approach to the learning which has become the cornerstone of the text. Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It is singular in its ability to engage and instruct without overwhelming any level of neuroanatomy student. The most effective model for learning neuroanatomy is Neuroanatomy: Draw It to Know It.

Review & Description

Now in its 25th year, this best-selling work is the only neuroanatomy atlas to integrate neuroanatomy and neurobiology with extensive clinical information. It combines full-color anatomical illustrations with over 200 MRI, CT, MRA, and MRV images to clearly demonstrate anatomical-clinical correlations.

This edition contains many new MRI/CT images and is fully updated to conform to Terminologia Anatomica. Fifteen innovative new color illustrations correlate clinical images of lesions at strategic locations on pathways with corresponding deficits in Brown-Sequard syndrome, dystonia, Parkinson disease, and other conditions. The question-and-answer chapter contains over 235 review questions, many USMLE-style.

Interactive Neuroanatomy, Version 3, an online component packaged with the atlas, contains new brain slice series, including coronal, axial, and sagittal slices.

Review & Description

The new gold standard for learning anatomy

Atlas of Anatomy, Second Edition, is the essential resource for anyone studying gross anatomy.  Packed with over 2,400 full-color illustrations, this atlas guides you step-by-step through each region of the body, helping you master the details of anatomy.

Key Features:
Exquisite full-color illustrations with clear, thorough labeling and descriptive captions
Even more clinical correlations help students make the connection between anatomy and medicine
Coverage of each region intuitively arranged to simplify learning:  beginning with the skeletal framework,  then adding muscles, organs,  vasculature, and nerves, and concluding with topographic illustrations that put it all together
Over 170 tables summarize key anatomic information for ease of study and review
Innovative, user-friendly format in which each two-page spread is a self-contained guide to a topic
Surface anatomy spreads now include regions and reference lines or planes in addition to landmarks and palpable structures to develop physical exam skills
Muscle Fact spreads ideal for memorization, reference, and review organize the essentials about muscles, including origin, insertion, innervation, and action
New sectional anatomy spreads at the end of units build familiarity with 2D views of anatomic regions 
Access to WinkingSkull.com PLUS, with over 500 images from the book for labels on and labels-off review  and  timed self-tests for exam preparation

Atlas of Anatomy is the students choice:
Thieme is the best anatomy atlas by far, hands down. Clearer pictures, more pictures, more realistic picturesstructures broken up in ways that make sense and shown from every angleincludes clinical correlations and summary charts of innervations and actions. That's about all there is to it. Just buy it. Thank you Thieme!!! Ok, now back to studying...

In my opinion this book surpasses them all. It's the artwork. The artist has found the perfect balance of detail and clarity. Some of these illustrations have to be seen to be believed . The pearls of clinical information are very good and these add significance to the information and make it easier to remember.  Easier to remember is key.
