Description

This book has become a classic in its field, with its main feature still the outstanding illustrative material: 217 halftone and line drawings that in themselves justify the term "classic". The text of this third edition has been thoroughly revised and extended. For example, it contains a new section on the cerebrovascular system and the meninges. More attention has also been placed on the functional significance of the structures that are discussed and depicted, and numerous correlations with neuropathology and clinical neurology are indicated. This edition provides a straightforward, clear and reliable guide to the structural and functional organization of the human central nervous system. Designed primarily for students of medicine and psychology, it also provides informative reading for practising neurobiologists. Moreover, it has proved useful as an aide memoire for specialists in the neurological sciences.
