neuroanatomy

Neuroanatomy encompasses the anatomy of all structures of the central nervous system, which includes the brain and the spinal cord, and their supporting structures.

This anatomy section promotes the use of the Terminologia Anatomica, the international standard of anatomical nomenclature.
