This book has become a classic in its field. Its main feature is still the outstanding illustrative material: 217 halfstones and line drawings that in themselves justify the term "classic". Yet the text of this third edition has been thoroughly revised and extended to cover the most recent concepts and data. For example, it contains an entirely new section on the cerebrovascular system and the meninges. Also, more attention has been placed on the functional significance of the structures that are discussed and depicted, and numerous correlations with neuro-pathology and clinical neurology have been indicated. This new edition, just as the previous ones, 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, the book will also be informative reading for practising neurobiologists.
Moreover, it will prove useful as an aide moire for specialists in the neurological sciences.
