Neuroanatomy: An Illustrated Colour Text, 7th ed.
by
Alan R. Crossman, 2025
An appropriate level of knowledge of human neuroanatomy is essential for anyone aspiring to understand the function or dysfunction of the human nervous system. Originally, in its first edition, Neuroanatomy was written with undergraduate medical students primarily in mind, because without such knowledge it is impossible to understand the myriad of signs and symptoms that arise from disorders of the nervous system and which medical students will encounter as they embark upon clinical studies. During the ensuing two and a half decades and six revisions it has become clear, through feedback from both students and teachers, that the book has proved useful to students of many disciplines allied to medicine and also to students of neuroscience per se .
In revising and updating Neuroanatomy for a seventh edition, I have stayed true to my original intention of producing a relevant, clear, succinct and well-illustrated account of the anatomy of the human nervous system.
Relevance is of key importance. Neuroanatomy is an extensive subject, and the pace of research in both the basic and clinical sciences means that it is ever-expanding. At the same time, students are under pressure from various quarters and neuroanatomy will almost certainly not be the only subject that they are studying. Although the question ‘What do I need to know?’ is anathema to some educators, it is perfectly understandable to me. What to include and what to leave out of Neuroanatomy has, of course, been a matter of judgement. My approach has been to include what I consider to be essential material to make sense of the subject, correlating, wherever possible, anatomical structure with function and, where applicable, relating it to clinical significance. I believe that the breadth and depth of coverage of the subject in Neuroanatomy are sufficient to enable students to commence their studies in any branch of preclinical or clinical neuroscience with confidence.
Clarity is also of great importance. Neuroanatomy is a complex subject and one with which, I know from experience, students often find difficulty. I have made every effort, therefore, to avoid vagueness, opacity or ambiguity and to present descriptions and concepts as straightforwardly as possible.
The text in Neuroanatomy is deliberately succinct and to the point – terse, some might say. Students do not, I believe, need or desire a weighty tome on the subject but, rather, one that helps them master the fundamentals and even, perhaps, tantalise them into delving deeper.
The internal anatomy of the central nervous system – its nuclei, nerve fibre tracts and, in particular, their connection – is often not readily visualised in dissections, histological sections or clinical scans. As a consequence, clear, uncomplicated and explicit illustrations are an absolute necessity. The illustrations have always been a strong point of the book – and one of the features that has attracted most compliments from readers. Since the third edition, Ben Crossman has been responsible for illustration of the entire book. For this edition, all of the figures have been critically scrutinized and numerous revisions and adjustments have been made to further improve clarity. I am grateful to Ben for his skillful artistic interpretation of my primitive sketches and his enhancement and annotation of the photographs of anatomical specimens.
