Right, final update to the book lists methinks...
I will start by congratulating anyone who has managed to get this far into the course, on the down side you have the hardest two terms of your time here coming up! (You thought branches of the IMA were difficult? Think again.)
Thought, Sense and Movement (TSM) aka Neurological and Skeletomotor Systems (NSS)
Choice of one (or both) of:
-
Concise Text of Neuroscience by Kingsley
-
Neuroscience: Exploring the Brain by Bear, Connors and Paradiso
Not entirely sure which one to recommend, though Dr Banks prefers Kingsley, and since he is the strand leader it might be an idea to get hold of a copy.
Will also need the standard Moore's
Clinically Oriented Anatomy, perhaps refer to a copy of
Essential Clinical Anatomy (less detail so easier read) as well as a Physiology and Embryology text.
Anatomy
- An Atlas of Neuroanatomy would be pretty handy, though I suggest checking the copies in anatomy to see which ones you like.
My atlas of choice is:
Neuronatomy; An illustrated Colour Text by Crossman and Neary. The atlas seems to be the best way of learning the structures of the brain, and ironically is better than the more detailed texts for explaining the tracts and functional details of the brain.
A General Anatomy Atlas is also useful when attempting to memorise the anatomy of Upper & lower limb, and head & neck. While not essential I can recommend one of the following:
-
Color Atlas of Anatomy by Rohen, Yokochi, and Lütjen-Drecoll (a personal favourite).
-
McMinn's Colour Atlas of Human Anatomy by McMinn
et al is a popular choice.
Good luck, you will need it!
