内容説明

The purpose of this book is to capture the imagination of students, health professionals, and lay people alike as they learn basic human neuroanatomy. By introducing the structure of the human brain, it renders the fascinating world of brain-and-psychology research totally accessible to interested novices. One consequence of the current explosion of knowledge about the human brain is that coverage of the brain in many introductory texts is often inadequate and, as a result, students have difficulty delving into relevant areas of modern brain research in their senior years. Accordingly, this book can be used effectively as a supplemental text in first and second-year courses to flesh out coverage of human brain anatomy, or it can be used in more senior courses to provide students with the systematic introduction to human neuroanatomy that was lacking in previous courses.
