Preface
This textbook is designed as a vade mecum (‘go with me’) for medical students. While based on campus, the gross and microscopic structures of the nervous system take precedence, along with their great diversity of functions. A strong stimulus to understand normal structure and function is provided by clinical examples of the consequences of breakdowns of diverse kinds. While hospital-based, consultation of the book in a clinical setting recalls the functional anatomy studied on campus. Sequential fusion of descriptive structure, function, and malfunction is known as vertical integration and is highly recommended owing to its manifest logic.

Chapters and Pages
Following a brief account of nervous system development in Chapter 1 , the topography of the brain and spinal cord and their meningeal surrounds occupies Chapters 2 – 4 . Next ( Ch. 5 ) comes the clinically very important blood supply . Microscopic and ultramicroscopic anatomy of neurons (nerve cells) and neuroglia (their surrounding ‘nerve glue’) come to the fore in Chapter 6 , along with some compression effects of expanding neuroglial tumors.
Chapter 7 changes the context by describing electrical events underlying the impulses that are triggered at the point of origin of axons and speed along the axons and their branches to liberate excitatory or inhibitory molecules onto target neurons. These molecules, pillars of the science of neuropharmacology, are examined in Chapter 8 . Chapters 9 – 11 explore the structure and distribution of the peripheral nerves attached to the spinal cord and innervating the muscles and skin of the trunk and limbs. Electrical activity returns in Chapter 12 in the form of electromyography , a technique widely used in the detection of neuromuscular disorders of various kinds.
The autonomic nervous system ( Ch. 13 ) controls the smooth musculature of the vascular system and of the alimentary, urinary, and reproductive tracts. The spinal nerves ( Ch. 14 ) attached to the whole length of the spinal cord, are ‘mixed’ (both motor and sensory) and innervate all of the voluntary muscles and skin in the trunk and limbs. Description of the contents of the spinal cord itself occupies Chapters 15 and 16 .
The brainstem (medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain) connects the spinal cord to the cerebral hemispheres, as described by means of transverse sections in Chapter 17 . The cranial nerves attached to it (nerves III to XII) are described in Chapters 19 – 23 . Chapter 24 is devoted to the reticular formation of the brainstem which, inter alia , links cranial nerves to one another.
The cerebellum ( Ch. 25 ) occupies the posterior cranial fossa. Its afferent ( L. ‘carry to’) connections from voluntary muscles and its efferent (‘carry out’) connections with the motor cortex in the brain are vital for control the smoothness of all voluntary movements.
The hypothalamus ( Ch. 26 ) can be traced back in nature as far as the reptiles. It still operates basic survival controls, including food and fluid intake, temperature control, and sleep. Above it are the thalamus and epithalamus ( Ch. 27 ), the former having numerous vital connections to cerebral cortex and spinal cord.
The Visual pathways chapter ( Ch. 28 ) lays out the largest of all horizontal pathways, stretching from the very front end of the brain – the retina – to the very back – the occipital cortex. Its clinical significance is obvious.
Chapter 29 examines the histological structure of the cerebral cortex, and provides a summary functional account of the different cortical areas. Electrical activities are examined by means of electroencephalogrophy ( Ch. 30 ) and evoked potentials ( Ch. 31 ). Functional inequalities between the left and right sides of the brain are the subject of Chapter 32 , hemispherical asymmetries.
The basal ganglia ( Ch. 33 ) are a group of nuclei at the base of the brain primarily involved in the control of movement. The most frequent failure of control takes the form of Parkinson’s disease .
The final anatomic structures, analyzed in Chapter 34 , are the olfactory (smell) system and the limbic system, the latter being of major emotional significance.
Chapter 35 is about cerebrovascular disease. The main purpose of this chapter is to highlight the functional defects that follow cerebral hemorrhage or thrombosis.
