This Study Guide presents a condensed explanation of the major principles from The Human Brain, 5 th Edition. It closely parallels chapter content from the textbook, with topical outlines at the beginning of each chapter. Discussions of major concepts are supplemented by numerous figures and tables, with citations to figures in the text included for easy reference. Self-evaluation questions review specific ideas covered in each chapter, and answers with rationales at the end of the book reinforce the correct information. A comprehensive review exam with many clinical vignette questions focuses on scenarios that illustrate neurobiological concepts in practice. Blank pathway diagrams of neural pathways serve as labeling exercises for further evaluation of anatomical concepts. The author's clear, concise, narrative style stresses major concepts without unnecessary detail, providing the appropriate level of information that students need. The organization closely parallels the 5 th edition of The Human Brain, with topical chapter outlines from the book. Numerous, clearly presented illustrations and brain images visually depict structure-function relationships and key neuroscience content. Multiple-choice, self-evaluation questions at the end of each chapter review specific ideas covered in the chapter. Answers with rationales allow students to test and verify their understanding. A comprehensive review with clinical vignette questions at the end of the book presents questions that deal with multiple topics. Blank pathway diagrams of neural pathways serve as labeling exercises for further evaluation of anatomical concepts. All content has been revised to correspond to updates and additions to the new 5 th edition of The Human Brain.
