Netter's Neuroscience Coloring Book, 1st Edition
Paperback
-
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 medicine.
- Expanded workbook review questions and bulleted lists throughout to reinforce comprehension and retention.
