The Anatomy of the Nervous System From the Standpoint of Development and Function (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore how the nervous system develops and works—from the earliest cells to the complex brain. This classic text offers a clear, step‑by‑step view of neuroanatomy and neurodevelopment, with careful explanations of how structure relates to function. The book balances foundational theory with practical details, drawing on illustrations and a laboratory outline to help you learn by doing.

Designed for students and professionals, it guides you through the origins of the nervous system, the development of neurons and fiber tracts, the spinal cord, major brain divisions, and the pathways that underlie sensation and movement. The edition emphasizes consistent terminology, thoughtful organization, and examples drawn from both human and animal models to illuminate the nervous system’s complex architecture.

• Clear coverage of development, histogenesis, and the architecture of the spinal cord and brain.


• Introductions to neurons, neural networks, and major fiber tracts with illustrative diagrams.


• Structured chapters on brain regions, cranial nerves, and sensory and motor pathways.


• A laboratory outline and practical notes that help translate theory into study or teaching practice.

Ideal for readers building a solid foundation in neuroanatomy or revisiting classic concepts with detailed, organized guidance.
