Previous editions of Neuroanatomy have endeavored 1) to provide a structural basis for understanding the function of the central nervous system; 2) to emphasize points of clinical relevance through use of appropriate terminology and examples; and 3) to integrate neuroanatomical and clinical information in a format that will meet the educational needs of the user. The goal of the sixth edition is to continue this philosophy and to present structural information and concepts in an even more clinically useful and relevant format. Information learned in the basic science setting should flow as seamlessly as possible into the clinical setting.
