The Book
Neuroanatomy: Draw It To Know It
Neuroanatomy: Draw it to Know it was written by Adam Fisch, MD, and published by Oxford University Press in the spring of 2009.
Key Features
Anatomical pictures and radiographic images accompany the diagrams to clarify spatially challenging features. Relevant synonyms and inconsistencies in the neuroanatomical literature are pointed out to avoid inter-text confusion. Historical and current accounts of neuroanatomical systems are presented for contextual perspectives.
Praise for the Book
"It is a novel and excellent format to actively involve all those that deal with clinical neuroscience to both learn neuroanatomy and to understand the anatomical details that underlie neurological symptomatology... it is an excellent interactive adventure for medical students, interns, neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry residents." Robert J. Schartzwman, MD, Professor and Chair of Neurology, Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA
"In this delightful book the student and resident will find two reasons why they will better comprehend, retain, and enjoy the essentials of neuroanatomy... The process of the learning the anatomy and then being compelled to draw it is a powerful tool that allows and forces many og us to better understand and consolidate the information. The second advantage afforded the reader of this book is that the neuroanatomy is oriented and discussed in a clinical context. Therefore the student and resident are able to relate the basic anatomical concepts to health and disease and better retain the great wealth of information due to its clinical relevance." Robert Pascuzzi, MD, Professor and Chair, Department of Neurology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN.
Adam Fisch, MD, received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania, a Medical Degree from Indiana University, and completed his Neurology Residency and Sleep Medicine Fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. Dr. Fisch teaches an annual neuroanatomy review course to medical students at Washington University in St. Louis, assists in the William DeMyer Course in Neuroanatomy for Indiana University Medical School Residents, and teaches an annual course to the Indiana Hand to Shoulder Fellows in the Anatomy & Electrodiagnostic Physiology of the Upper Extremity.
Dr. Fisch has taught USMLE preparatory courses in neuroanatomy to medical students at Drexel University in Philadelphia, St. Louis University, University of Washington in Seattle, and Washington University in St. Louis. As well, he has taught many groups of medical residents, rehabilitation therapists, and electroneurodiagnostic technicians at different universities using the Draw it to Know it method.
