Outstanding text

I used the first edition of this text many years ago in grad school. I thought it was the best I had ever seen, and I had looked at many of the texts available at the time. It combined clear, well written text with outstanding illustrations by Demarest, whose specialty was neurological illustrations and drawings, if I remember correctly. Neuroanatomy can be a technical and difficult area, but Noback and Demarest's book made the subject, if not actually enjoyable, then far more approachable and accessible. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, after having had to slog through many less readable texts as a grad and undergrad. I also found it very thorough and also up to date in terms of the current research. I used to it study for my neuroanatomy comprehensive exam rather than the text we were assigned at the time (which I don't even remember the title of at this point), and I'm sure I did better than I would have had their great text not been available.

Good intro to the human CNS

This reference has been a widely used university text introducing the human nervous system. Chapters on neurophysiology and neurodevelopment are followed by a consideration of sensory and motor functionality, and examination of components of the central nervous system.
