Structure
Neuroanatomy is very complex, but it can be an interesting topic. We are going to try to cover it in a basic but comprehensive way, so you know what's going on, even if you might not be at brain surgery level yet...
Central nervous system:
Peripheral nervous system:
Autonomic nervous system:
Brain:
The Rest:
Function
The nervous system is quite useful. If I had to choose between having a brain or having a spleen, it would not be a decision that would take me very long. However, understanding how it works is not fun. Learn about sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways. I assume there will be more to write in this section soon.
Disorders
