I feel that ...             High-Yield Neuroanatomy (Board Review Series)20 reviews James D. Fix Williams & Wilkins, 1995 Great resource for Step 1 The USMLE has become increasingly focused on neuro over the past few years, and First Aid has become more and more inadequate with respect to neuro. This book is a great way to prepare for the neuro questions on Step 1. It's a slender book and is thus a very quick read --- heck, I'm a slow reader and finished it in 2.5 days. At the beginning of the book are several images of brain sections, with ...             Head Cases: Stories of Brain Injury and Its Aftermath16 reviews Michael Paul Mason Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2009 FINALLY!!!!!

Maturana, Francisco Varela Shambhala, 1992 So, what's your story? I came to this book years ago through, of all things, a two-year course in business and sales, for which it was required reading along with "Computers and Cognition", another eye-opener; the latter anticipated the current transactional nature of the Internet. You might ask how a work as theoretical and speculative as "Tree of Knowledge" could be part of a pragmatic and hardnosed business course, ...             The Prescriber's Guide, Antidepressants (Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology)33 reviews Stephen M.

Pinel, Maggie E. Edwards Allyn & Bacon, 1997 Very helpful I bought this book to help me with my cognitive neuroscience class, and it proved to be very useful. I think it'd work best for those who are visual learners.

There are almost 10 times more nerve fibers carrying sensory information from the top down rather than ...             Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom12 reviews Rick Hanson Ph.D., with Richard Mendius MD New Harbinger, 2009 Incredible Book!
