Klappentext

Reinforce your knowledge of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, and common neurologic disorders with this active, engaging, and relaxing review method! Netter’s Neuroscience Coloring Book, 2nd Edition*,* makes abstract concepts more concrete as you use color and tactile movement to reinforce your memory and understanding of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. It’s a fun and interactive way to learn and review a complex but fascinating subject-whether you’re taking a course in neuroscience, preparing for a neuroscience program, or planning a career in research, science, or medicine and healthcare.

More than "just" a coloring book, this unique learning tool offers:

• More than 145 key topics in neuroscience and neuroanatomy, using bold, clear drawings based on classic Netter art
• Coloring exercises for visual and tactile learning as you trace pathways and tracts, reinforcing spatial, functional, and clinical concepts in this fascinating field
• A clear organization with 4 major sections: (1) Overview of the nervous system; (2) regional neuroscience; (3) systemic neuroscience; and (4) global neuroscience
• Three major components for each topic and accompanying illustrations: What is it and what does it do?; Color the most important structures; and What is the functional and clinical significance?
• Text revision based on extensive student feedback
• New coloring exercises on Endogenous Opioid Systems, Insular Cortex, Prefrontal Cortex, Dementias, Alzheimer’s Disease, Posttraumatic Stress, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Brain Substrates of Addictive Disorders
• Clinical Notes that bridge basic science with health care and medicineExpanded workbook review questions and bulleted lists throughout to reinforce comprehension and retention
