This book is absolutely fabulous for anyone studying neuroanatomy. Netter’s diagrams are exceptionally clear and comprehensive. The text which accompany the diagrams is actually more detailed and informative than I would have expected. All areas of the brain are covered in detail. In addition to information on structures, there are diagrams of neuroanatomical pathways, the projections of structures and so forth. A great buy for any neuropsychology student.

Frank Netter, MD’s series of medical illustrations remain state of the art in the world of anatomy texts. Volume 1 (and Vol. 2) of the neuroanatomy series are no exception. With comprehensive text, bright, beautiful, full-color illustrations, these books literally captivate the reader-student, no mean feat with fundamentally boring material! Original anatomical drawings by Netter, in my opinion, are much better teaching aids than those derived from neuroimaging – which tend to be dark. Netter’s sometimes cartoon-like and comical artwork is so “50’s” – yet so well-done that they only seem dated in terms of non-essentials and really do not distract. I am somewhat a collector-lover of neuroanatomy texts (I teach the subject)and Netter’s top the list. The illustrations also make outstanding slides for lectures(which can be purchased separately as a set from Novartis[Ciba-Geigy] or scanned-in from the text). These books are fabulous and are literally going to be collector’s editions!
