"The most comprehensive approach to neuroanatomy from both a functional and regional perspective NEW full-color images! Neuroanatomy Text and Atlas explores how parts of the nervous system work together to regulate body systems and produce behavior. The book thoroughly covers the sensory, motor and integrative systems of the brain and presents an overview of the function in relation to structure and the locations of major pathways and neuronal integrative regions.
