This comprehensive reference is clearly destined to become the definitive anatomical basis for all neuroscience research. The book provides a complete overview and comparison of the structural organization of all vertebrate groups, ranging from amphioxus and lamprey through fishes, amphibians and birds to mammals. The large specialised section of the work, devoted to the CNS of the various vertebrate groups, is preceded by introductory chapters on neurons, cell masses, fibre tracts, morphogenesis, methodology, and techniques. Although focusing on structure, the authors provide functional correlations throughout. This monumental work is, and will remain, unique; the only source of such brilliant illustrations at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels.

General Introductory Part: 1 Structure and function of the cellular elements in the CNS; 2 Structure and organization of centres; 3 Structure and organisation of fibre systems; 4 Morphogenesis and general morphology; 5 Histogenesis and general structure; 6 Comparative neuroanatomy: Place, principles and programme; 7 Notes on techniques Specialised Part: 8 Introduction; 9 Amphioxus; 10 Lampreys; 11 Hagfishes; 12 Cartilaginous fishes; 13 Brachiopterygian fishes; 14 Chondrostean fishes; 15 Holosteans and teleosts; 16 Lungfishes; 17 The coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae; 18 Urodele amphibians; 19 Anuran amphibians; 20 Reptiles; 21 Birds; 22 Mammals General Concluding Part: 23 Brain size in vertebrates; 24 The meaning of it all

"The new synthesis by R. Nieuwenhuys and colleagues is stunning and represents a level of scholarship that is rarely achieved in any field. The quality and uniformity of the illustrations are remarkable. ...of immense value to contemporary neurobiologists." Nature
