Designed primarily for medical and dental students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and other examinations, Neuroanatomy—Board Review Series presents the essentials of human neuroanatomy in a succinct outline format with abundant illustrations.

More than 600 USMLE-style questions with complete answers and explanations are included, some at the end of each chapter and some in an end-of-book Comprehensive Examination.

This edition uses color to delineate neuroanatomical pathways and highlight clinical correlations. New clinical MRI and MRA images have been added. Questions follow the clinical vignette-based format of the current USMLE.
