Product Description
Product Description
For over thirty years "The Human Nervous System" has offered a concise, well-written text on neuroanatomy for both medical and allied health students. This successful title is organized into four major parts: cellular aspects of the nervous system, regional anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, sensory and motor systems, and blood supply. The Eighth Edition has been simplified to enhance coverage of the essentials and help students learn important facts and definitions. A free CD-ROM packaged with the book contains more than 400 interactive self-testing multiple-choice review questions, as well as expanded versions of selected chapters.

Format:Paperback
I am the sort of person who likes to have a book that tells him more than he can ever possibly know, then when I need to look something up in more detail I know where to go.
This is an in depth but readable guide to the nervous system for anatomists, psychologists, medics, anyone else who needs to know whats inside that blob of jelly in our heads.
If you want a gentle break into the subject try Crossman and Neary, but I promise you that you'll come back to Barr later anyway.
Good regional and functional mix.

poor text
18 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
very dense and hard to read text. If you are a beginner in neuroanatomy this would not be a good book for you. It is more of a review instead of a primary source for learning neuroanatomy

Not ideal for the first time Neuro Student
17 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This text was assigned by my Neuro prof for Neuroanatomy in medical school. It is dense, hard to read through, and is not an enjoyable read by any stretch. Use this book as a reference, but for a much better read, go for Lange neuro board review book.

A book only for review of neuroanatomy
23 April 2000
Format:Paperback
We used this book as a reference of our neuroanatomy course. Actually, most neuroanatomy textbooks are not so easy to read. This one is no exception. It only "describes" the nuclei and tracts without giving an understandable explanation. In addition, only brief review can we found in the portion of systemic neuroanatomy, and NEVER can we found any information about development neuroscience. So I don't think this book is apt to strangers of neuroscience. But for those who have some basic knowledge in the field of neuroanatomy. It is a excellent book for brief review.
