Joanna Kozak

This book definitely held my interest. It is my first neuroanatomy English written textbook and i am under the impression. The text is detailed and very informative. However book is written clearly and does not overwhelm the reader. The figures are very good and perfectly correspond to the text. Moreover, they are very informative and supporting in education process. I would strongly recommend it to almost all neuroanatomy courses.
