Description

This book seeks to present, through a combination of morphological data and physiological and neurological studies, a comprehensive survey of our knowledge of the human brain. The major emphasis is upon structural organisation, based upon the evolution of this most complex of organs. However, functional aspects, including experimental research and clinical findings, have also been incorporated, broadening the interest for students of neurobiology and clinical medicine.

Reviews

'All in all, a useful and timely conspectus.' Psychological Medicine 'A hundred years of research into the embryology, morphology and microscopy of the vertebrate (and especially human) brain is summarised by a writer who has made distinguished contributions over nearly 50 of them ... Lavishly illustrated with mainly line drawings; a finely produced monograph.' British Medical Journal
