Clinical Neuroanatomy describes and explains the structure of the human brain and spinal cord together with the peripheral and autonomic components of the nervous system. Neuroanatomy is the study of the anatomy and stereotyped organization of nervous systems. In contrast to animals with radial symmetry, whose nervous system consists of a distributed network of cells, animals with bilateral symmetry have segregated, defined nervous systems. The organization and vascularisation of the human brain and the techniques to study brain circuitry, the main neurofunctional systems are discussed, including the somatosensory, auditory, visual, motor, antonomic, and limbic systems, the cerebral cortex and complex cerebral functions. The brain is the control center of the body. It controls thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically. However, when problems occur, the results can be devastating. This book would help everyone who wishes to clear her understanding of the wonderful machine what we call the human body.
