Neuroanatomy
Is the study of the anatomy of nervous tissue
and neural structures of the nervous system

In vertebrates the routes that the myriad nerves take
(from the brain to the rest of the body (or "periphery")
and the internal structure of the brain in particular
are both extremely elaborate


As a result, the study of neuroanatomy has developed
into a discipline in itself, although it also represents a specialization
within neuroscience

The delineation of distinct structures and regions of the brain
has figured centrally in investigating how it works

For example, much of what neuroscientists have learned
comes from observing how damage or "lesions" to specific
brain areas affects behavior or other neural functions

Neuroanatomy is that branch of neuroscience
which deals with the study of gross structure of the brain
and the nervous system
