This reference helps the reader visualize and understand the many parts of the central nervous system. The text that accompanies every image explains all of the structures within the spinal cord and the brain. With color-enhanced illustrations, the Atlas presents an overview of the nervous system, followed by the sensory and motor systems as they traverse the CNS. It offers a detailed look at the microanatomy, particularly of the brain stem. The final section features a unique set of illustrations as the foundation for an integrated view of the structure and function of the limbic system. The accompanying CD-ROM contains all of the illustrations from the print version, with the advantage of 3-D visualization and full color.
