Brain Anatomy

Topic

Brain anatomy, studied under the field of neuroanatomy, is the investigation of the structure, organization, and physical components of the brain and nervous system. It encompasses the study of both gross anatomical structures, such as the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem, and microscopic cellular networks of neurons and glial cells. Understanding brain anatomy is fundamental to mapping how different regions of the brain coordinate sensory, motor, and cognitive functions.
