"This electronic publication is intended to serve students of all the health and biological sciences who are seeking to understand the organization and functions of the human nervous system.
The unique feature of this book is its collection of brain and spinal cord dissections, the nature and quality of which would be virtually impossible for teachers or students to achieve in the teaching lab, where time is limited and correct identification of structures can be a trial. These dissections are offered as examples of the brain dissector's art, and provide students with visual access to an enhanced understanding of structures, pathways, relationships and concepts."
This is one of a number of media textbooks of medicine posted by University of Iowa Health Care. Many of BrainInfo's illustrations of structures as they appear in dissections and myelin stained cross-sections of the human brain are located there.
