From time to time, I play Amazon roulette and pick up a book based solely on its title.
I just started reading, "Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple." Who could resist a title like that? Unfortunately (for me) the book begins with the following two sentences:
"The Central Nervous System (CNS) includes the cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord (fig. 1) plus a few scary-sounding structures situated between the brain stem and cerebrum; namely, the diencephalon (Which includes everything with the name "thalamus;" i.e., the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus and subthalamus) and the basal ganglia (which includes the caudate nucleus, the global pallidus, the putamen, claustrum, and amygdala). Fortunately, it is clinically unimportant to have a detailed understanding of the connections of the diencephalon and basal ganglia."
(Thank goodness. I doubt I could have read on had they explained the dreaded connections between the diencephalon and basal ganglia.).
Anyone have any recommendations for my next read? What are you reading now?
