Product Description
Sidman's Neuroanatomy: A Programmed Learning Tool, Second Edition is an innovative combined neuroanatomy text and review that covers the structure of the entire nervous system. Its unique programmed learning approach allows students to easily retain information and learn at their own pace by slowly building on previously learned concepts throughout each chapter. The programmed learning approach introduces new information and reviews previously learned information by presenting it in new contexts, calling attention to important details and illustrating steps in a reasoning process. This learning method adds to and reinforces the student's understanding and retention of neuroanatomical knowledge. This edition features updated illustrations, a systems-based organization, and new concepts on the cerebellum, extrapyramidal pathways, special sensory pathways, diencephalon, ventricular system, and vascular anatomy. Terminology has been updated to conform to Terminologia Anatomica. Accompanying the book is a multimedia component, containing an interactive question bank with fill-in-the-blank and figure labeling exercises, pop-up images, and hot spot identification questions as well as brand-new neuroanatomical animations.

Wow! June 12, 2009 R. Escobedo (Hamilton, ON) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an AMAZING book. It's like a workbook, which is exactly what you need if you have problems memorizing really random names and picturing a 3D object through only 2D pictures. If you work with this book you're very well off to take exams (better than you think) and more importantly you get to KNOW the human brain like a house - by walking through its rooms. This is the one book that worked for me way better than anything else (and I tired texts, all the Netter's, computer based stuff, simple. . . .). I wish I'd had this for my neuro class, but at least I have it now before my boards.
There are some errors in the text, due to it being a first edition. But they're usually minimal and if you're going along with everything you can spot them no problem.
I WISH they had a programmed learning tool for anatomy and pharm - my other bad subjects that require only memorization.
BEST neuro book March 24, 2009 ChicagoIn (Chicago) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Some will criticize this book for being too basic. It's not. It builds from the basics to everything you need to know for medical school neuroanatomy. I normally like text formats over outline formats in my med school books, this book is neither. It has it's own unique, interactive format that I wish more books used. Then again, it would be too easy to learn to be a doctor if all med school books were written like this. Again, do not mistake simplicity for inadequacy. I'm now a first year resident and I have a tear in my eye as I sell this book.
THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ March 3, 2009 Ruby Kapadia (NY) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an EXCELLENT BOOK. It is priceless in terms of of how far it will take you. If you have to define it, its more like "pre-view, hammer-in the information, and review all-in-one" If you have time, preferrably a semester before neuroanatomy, spend 10 minutes a day and see how fruitful it will be 60 days later. Or you can go through it in a few weeks, its absolutely a pearl. I highly recomend it, I have never taken neuroanatomy and quite frankly was afraid of the subject matter, now I can't wait to work on it. Thumbs up, DO INVEST YOUR MONEY INTO THIS ONE.
Oldie but goodie November 29, 2008 E. Adams (MA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this at the suggestion of one of my professors, and it's really helpful. Working through it really does help you memorize neuroanatomy, with a minimum of suffering. Use pencil and you can erase your entries and go through it again, or re-sell it to another med student.
How all textbooks should be written. Period. March 25, 2008 Justin K. Hamlin (Tulsa, OK USA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am in medical school and I sit through many long complicated dissertations on subjects such as this one. Unfortunately, most professors and most textbook authors may know a lot about the subject they teach, but they really have no clue how to teach. They make the subject more complicated and more difficult than it is, and worse, they don't present it the way people think. They just stand there and blast you with random information. It ends up being a large garbled mess that the student then has to figure out and teach himself.
This book actually sets up the information in a logical order, starts at the beginning and progresses in a systematic fashion to the end. It doesn't jump around like professors and other books like to do. It Explains things simply and concisely and reintroduces previously learned knowledge all in an interactive style to keep you engaged and thinking.
Another thing I like about this book is that the figures referred to in the text are on the same page as the text referring to them, not five pages ahead or behind.
In short, this book is saving my butt in Neuroanatomy.
