I think this may be too broad, and a "shopping" question, so it will likely be closed.  It largely depends on what you meant by "what I learnt back at school".  Was it an undergraduate course?  A applied/practical course for medical workers/therapists, etc?  Check out [this book](http://www.amazon.com/Sidmans-Neuroanatomy-Programmed-Learning-Lippincott/dp/0781765684/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351641795&sr=8-1&keywords=sidman%27s+neuroanatomy) I used it as a refresher before taking a grad level course.  It's very mechanical [con't]

and it reinforces the prior lessons as you go, there's a lot of writing and copying (I don't know how well that would work in the Kindle edition, so getting the spiral bound might be better), so check the preview before you buy it to see if it will fit your learning style.

If you're just looking for an atlas of the human brain, I find [Jurgen Mai's atlas](http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Human-Brain-Third-Juergen/dp/012373603X) extremely helpful.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-10-30)

I'm looking for a beginner level book on neuroanatomy. I haven't any background in neuroanatomy, other than what I learnt back at school. I'd like to take up a post grad neuroscience course to help with my research and knowledge of neuroanatomy would help me understand neuroscience better.
