The complexity of the brain, the house of human consciousness, is so great that scientists are still mystified as to how it works.  For a student, learning the various cellular organizations, cranial nerves, and neural connections can be an intimidating challenge.

The Human Brain Coloring Workbook is a break-through approach to understanding the brain's organization and functions.  It features 125 striking, computer-generated illustrations that will help students gain a clear and enduring comprehension of this highly intricate structure.

Learning interactively through coloring thoroughly fixes concepts in the mind and takes less time than memorizing from textbooks.  The ideas behind each lesson are amply explained, and more complex subjects are approached through the gradual introduction of simple drawings.

After completing the lessons in this book, not only will you understand the brain's basic configurations and functions, you will also have a fully colored and labeled resource ready for review whenever you need to brush up.

This book is an invaluable and lasting resource for students in a number of disciplines, including medicine, anatomy and physiology, biology, psychology, nursing, rehabilitation, health administration, medical technology, and nutrition.

The 125 plates in the book are organized in the following sections:

*Central Nervous System Development
*The Meninges
*The Cerebral Hemispheres
*The Cranial Nerves
*The Ventricular System and Cerebrospinal Fluid
*The Limbic System
*The Thalamic Complex
*The Basal Ganglia
*The Brainstream
*The Cerebellum
*The Cerebrovascular System

Review:

Lovers of the series of coloring books that teach us all about our innards will be pleased to find the brain among the many systems deemed worthy of receiving colorful attention. Although unconventional, this is a valuable aid created especially for students of anatomy and physiology, nursing, psychology, and medical technology--plus those of us simply interested in the inner workings of the mind (at least, those of us with crayons!). Human Brain Coloring Book, by Dr. Kapil Gupta, includes 125 plates of diagrams with accompanying explanations of each system's location and function. The workbook's practicality lies in the interactive learning experience it offers and, when completed, the fully colored and labeled resource it becomes for the student or clinician. Each chapter concludes with a self-assessment that lists the major terms covered and includes a brief quiz on system functions.
