The Human Brain Coloring Book: A Coloring Book (Coloring Concepts) Paperback – November 27, 1985

Great learning tool

I am a medical student taking my neuro block. I'm one exam in and pretty pleased with my purchase. Loads of clear, useful images. This book has been very useful in learning pathways and cross-sections. It certainly doesn't have much clinical correlation info, but that's easy to add in to corresponding pages.This book is 1000x more engaging than any neuro textbook out there. This book also seems to highlight the same things that end up being important for exams, which can be difficult.Worth every penny.Note- there are a few mistakes like a label line that doesn't quite extend far enough, but overall I've found the information to be correct.

Bought this when I was feeling super confused by the nervous system unit in my A&P class. Skipped around to find the pages that were relevant to the material I was reviewing and went through those. Felt much more confident about neuroanatomy by test time!There's so much more to learn in here, and I'm looking forward to exploring it in more depth later

I found the book very useful while taking the neurology course for 1st year med students.The only gripe (which isn't a real gripe about the book) is that coloring takes a long time.But the slides I did color, I remembered quite easily.The book is very comprehensive and contains a lot of information in the form of text explaining the slides you color.If you are willing to spend the time coloring, it's totally worth getting.Oh and do yourself a favor and get a color pencil set with at least 20 colors. I tried to use about 13 and it was a major failure, as I had to invent checkered schemes, etc, which made me stop using the book.

I am using portions of this book for a masters level Social Work "Cognition and the Brain" class. This 301 page book is great to give you a visual of brain sections, and it does provide alphabet keys to specific sections of the brain in each image. When you open the book you get text on the left of each page, and an accompanying image on the right to color. The first image I am adding is a more advanced coloring page, and the second is of the full-page accompanying text. As you are learning, it tells you to color a specific section of the image, but it would have been more helpful if it provided guidance on coloring sections so that it flowed throughout all related picture, to help the student understand pathways, processes, etc. There are detailed instructions provided with each picture to color, however the level of text is beyond the average high school student. While many of the pictures will help even youngsters gain knowledge of brain parts, etc. the cover image is misleading as to the level of knowledge required to actually read the book to learn about the brain. This book is definitely directed to the college level student, not children. That being said, the cover image gives a good representation of how the images themselves work, so if a elementary/middle school/high school teacher used it for images only and not text, it would provide some great pages for all age learners. The cover gives a false impression as to the level of text, how many images there are (again, a 301 page book, slightly less than half are pictures), and the scope knowledge the book actually covers. All this said, this book has great use for everyone, but not all pages will be useful for everyone.

Bought this after having success with the similar human anatomy coloring book (I think it's by the same author..). LOVE THIS BOOK.. has all of the different spinal cord tracts and goes a step further than the gross anatomy book by using extra pictures to help you associate concepts you already know with different brain functions. This is made for nursing students, PT/OT students etc. Excellent for visual and kinesthetic learners.

I am a first year medical student and Neuro was busting my balls before I got this book. Im a tactile learner, so listening to lectures and trying to read the book was failing me when it came to the specific neuroanatomy structures/functions. This book really really helped me pass neuroanatomy.- Coloring the structures in was a relatively low mental stress activity to familiarize myself with the material- The pictures, even without having colored some of them in, were an excellent resource. My study group used my book as a reference many many times.- isolated structures (individual spinal nerve tracts, hypothalamic nuclei, sulci/gyri) are well labeled with a brief but sufficient explanationI could see this being useful for any level of brain anatomy, it goes as basic as you might need, or almost as detailed as you could possibly go.

It is a good coloring book, you can enjoy the images and take a good idea on how the brain develops and in the mature state how it is intercommunicated, It can be seen how the tracts get from a nuclei to an organ or how it comes from different organs to the nuclei, you can get a spatial view of the neural structures, it is a very sophisticated way to explain neural structures when more than 1 draw is correlated with the next or more than 1 drawings, I consider this a good resource for teaching, seeing this before going to the amphiteatre is a good way to teach because when students see the corpses first, they put more attention to the formol and other fluids smell than the neural structures.
