- Completely revised and updated content throughout, with entirely new chapters added
- Beautifully illustrated so that even difficult concepts are rendered comprehensible
- Provides a fundamental analysis of the anatomy of all areas of the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as an introduction to their functions
- Appeals to researchers working on other species, including humans
