Neurosciences: Anatomy of the Nervous System
Neurosciences · Basic Sciences
How it begins
Descripción exhaustiva de la organización macro y microscópica del sistema nervioso: telencéfalo, diencéfalo, tronco encefálico, cerebelo, médula espinal, sistema nervioso periférico y sistema nervioso autónomo. Con correlaciones clínicas, vías neurales y valor localizador.
