Basic Human Neuroanatomy

Part 1 Organisation of the nervous system: the nervous system - the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system. Part 2 Functional neuroanatomy of the major sensory and motor pathways: general somatic afferent pathways - general somatic afferents from the body, general somatic afferents from the face; special visceral afferent pathways; special somatic afferent pathways; motor pathways - eye movements, the pyramidal system, cerebellar connections, connections of the basal nuclei. Part 3 Blood vessels of the brain and spinal cord: blood vessels of the brain - arterial supply to the brain, arterial supply to the internal structures of the brain (central branches), venous return from the brain; blood vessels of the spinal cord - arterial supply to the spinal cord, venous return from the spinal cord. Part 4 Atlas of the brain and spinal cord: surface view of the brain - angled horizontal sections of the brain (with CT and MRI scan correlation), coronal sections of the cerebrum and diencephalon (with MRI scan correlation), transverse sections of the brain stem (with MRI scan correlation), transverse sections of the spinal cord, transverse sections of the brain stem.
