With almost 700 pages and an ominously black cover, the exterior of this book places it with so many other neuroscience texts: long, dull and confusing. But read on - there may be more to this book than meets the visual cortex... Concise Text of Neuroscience aims to provide the medical student with a relevant knowledge of the main topics in neuroscience. It achieves this in fifteen chapters, each one integrating the necessary neuroanatomy and neurophysiology with a related section on clinical neurology. The neuroanatomy is described with the aid of illustrations which, while only in one colour, are beautifully clear. Clinical sections include case histories which allow the reader to apply the acquired knowledge to a realistic situation. "Further application" questions and excellent summaries add to the quality of this book as a learning resource. Adding further to this are the appendices, covering neuroembryology, neurological examination, neurological imaging, and a simple-but-detailed MRI atlas. To me, however, the most important characteristic of any book attempting to cover such a complex subject is clarity of the writing style. In this area Concise Text excels. It explains difficult concepts in an understandable fashion, and amazingly retains its conciseness - the conciseness that allows the integration of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and clinical neurology into one textbook. As a medical student, you will be required to have a working knowledge of neuroscience. If you're looking for a book that teaches the essentials with good detail, but omits the useless facts, then this could be a useful one to have.
Robert E. Kingsley provided an excellent text that can be used for specific science research and class room teaching. It provides exceptionally good detail with wonderful graphic illustrations about the brain and about the spine. If not used for the current curriculum I recommend that it be required for extra broad research for technical papers. It will serve the practitioner and student in any level. At least get a used copy for reading and ready reference.
I bought this book for my brother as he is taking a class that is using this book. They love the book and it arrived promptly and in good condition. thank you for the expert cooperation.Pat
This is a good over-view of neuroscience. However the concise part sometimes gets in the way of the neuroscience part. I found it to be at a level of detail that made it unhelpful to me.As a companion to an intro neuroscience course I think it would be helpful.
one of the best textbooks i have owned. thorough, yet easy to follow, with great diagrams and pictures. great reference sections too in the front and back covers.
Excellent book! indeed very concise and clear. Maintained in good shape. Delivery took a bit long.
Delivered in the condition as promised and timely arrival. Pretty good textbook and simple enough to understand yet detailed enough to comprehend the complexity of neuroscience.
