I was looking for a neuroanatomy review book before studying neurology and this was my choice after reading BRS Neuroanatomy, High-Yield Neuroanatomy, and Neuroanatomy: An atlas of Structures, Sections, and Systems. I chose this book for several reasons. First, the pictures were the most clearly explained ones (the enhanced illustrations of the anatomical sections and the 3-D drawings of the nervous pathways). Second, the title of each chapter is very relevant in terms of main clinical correlation between the anatomical structure and the neurological defect(e.g. The cerebellum: Ataxia), so if you want a 2 min review of major neurological complaints/anatomical localization of the lesion, just scan the table of contents. Third, the book is full of clinical correlations inserted in the text when the relevant anatomical structure/pathway is discussed. The last chapter provides principles for locating lesions with clinical illustrations, very useful. There is a glossary and an atlas of myelin-stained sections. This edition also has two-color illustrations.
Great Easy Read of Medical Neuroscience

While Neuroscience, especially Neuroanatomy, can be complicated, this book does a great job of clearing up many convoluted topics. Clinical correlations help firm up key concepts and are especially helpful to medical students, such as myself. The illustrations do a great job, although an atlas would be needed for any true images (such as MRIs or CTs). The final chapter on localizing lesions is especially helpful.
Excellent, Lesion Oriented, very clear and understandible

I have used the original syllabus by Dr. Young many years ago. This text derives from the course syllabus at Saint Louis University Medical school. This book will provide you with deep and lasting understanding of clinical neuroanatomy. Excellent source for Neuroanatomy courses and the USMLE.
