If you're looking for something that's a little less dense then a straight-up anatomy book, I highly recommend The Human Brain Coloring Book.

I spent a lot of time going through advanced neuroanatomy textbooks, but the information didn't stick with me. It took me actually going through the entire coloring book and meticulously coloring every single page.

And for the record, this wasn't some crackpot idea I had, this was the required work of my college neuroscience major's neuroanatomy course.

Not dick-waving, just establishing credentials: I taught a neuroanatomy lab at Berkeley for three semesters, two with Marian Diamond, and won a teaching award for my efforts, so at least hear me out.

First, have your students buy the Human Brain Coloring Book. It may sound cheesy but it really does help and Dr. Diamond put together an amazing resource.

Second, have plenty of brain specimen (human if you can get them) on hand to let students do some hands-on dissections or viewings of what a real messy organic brain looks like.

Third, most undergrads learning neuroanatomy will be pre-med, so I like to roll in a lot of case studies with MRI/CT scans, videos, etc. Blumenfeld's clinical book is great for this.

Fourth, connect the anatomy to real research going on right now. Talk about how we now don't really think Broca's area is the actual spot for the motor aspects of speech (a la Dronkers). Show DTI images, etc.

Finally, something I've been doing for public outreach seems to be a great draw and works for a first class lecture: the zombie brain. It gets students thinking about how function and behavior link to the brain using something ridiculous, but not-as-boring (you can see me give a half-drunk lecture to a few hundred people at bar at the bottom of that page... it held their attention for 30 minutes).

Good luck!

It's a little silly but I really loved the coloring book version: http://www.amazon.com/The-Human-Brain-Coloring-Book/dp/0064603067

This book for Evolutionary psychology seems quite good as it is published by the Cambridge University Press, although I have not studied much on evolutionary psych. Also, anything by Frederick Toates is very well written, and we use this book in my biological psychology lectures at university and has a lot of neuroscience in it.

However, textbooks can unavoidably be quite expensive (even though you can sell them afterwards, getting the initial cash can be hard without a student loan). As an alternative, you might want to look at the A Graphic Guide series. I read the Introducing Psychology one during my A levels when I didn't have much money and found it really useful, although a bit short. There is one specific to evolutionary psychology, too.

Finally, a researcher at my university told me about this book, written by one of his lecturers, that helps you to understand more about the anatomy of the brain. It is a colouring book where you colour in each different region of the brain, but each page gets more specific about each brain region. The book isn't that expensive either. Here is a link. :)

Hope this helps, and good luck on your psychology quest :D

Actually, in certain areas of biology, coloring is considered an essential part of college-level courses. Many classes in the following fields at top universities will require the linked coloring books as textbooks:

u/Shanoony · 2 pointsr/Neuropsychology

There are a few coloring books that do this pretty well if you’re into that. This is a pretty popular one.

u/A_Manslayer · 2 pointsr/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

Got abook similiar to this fine thing for university. Best Textbook, I ever bought.

u/Zephryl · 2 pointsr/Neuropsychology

Blumenfeld's Neuroanatomy Through Clinical Cases is the classic text, and deservedly so.

The Human Brain Coloring Book is a fun, but surprisingly educational and detailed, resource.

u/StillWeCarryOn · 2 pointsr/quityourbullshit

I was talking about the Pearson coloring books. This is the book we used for assignments in my freshman biology class and This is the book we used in my Anatomy and Physiology class. I actually asked for this one for my birthday not realizing it was the same line of books.

u/Dr_Gage · 2 pointsr/medicine

I did the same for neuroanatomy, I used this book, some of my classmates thought I was stupid for using it, but it's really helpful and easy. Coloring the structures while repeating the name as Buddhist monks pray really helped.

There is a colouring book that might help. No, seriously.

There's a few colouring books out there that help familiarize folks with the anatomy of the brain. This one is a classic.

If you're struggling with basic brain anatomy, I cannot recommend enough The Human Brain Coloring Book. This is human anatomy, not sheep or the more common rat or mouse, but still extremely, extremely useful.

The other main suggestion I have for studying neuro concepts that others haven't mentioned yet is drawing. Draw neural circuits with excitatory and inhibitory connections marked (or glutamate and GABA-ergic, etc). Draw a circle with the sequence of events that occur during an action potential. Make tables or charts or whatever is appropriate for the material. Work from memory each time, then check back whether it matched the textbook or handout - this is sometimes called active review, and is much better at reinforcing information than the passive review of reading over notes multiple times. Combine this with anki-type SRS flashcards and you'll be unstoppable.

brain coloring book This is where I started. You may laugh, but it helped.
