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 mA(c)moire for specialists in the neurological sciences.
