Sinopsis
Excerpt from An Elementary Study of the Brain
To simplify the nomenclature, without sacrifice of accuracy, has been hardly possible; the names employed are, therefore, those from both the older terminology and the Basel association nomenclature (bn A), which in the author's opinion will be easiest acquired and remembered by the student. In most cases the terms descriptive of the brain of the sheep have been borrowed from the human, rather than from any mammalian, nomenclature, inasmuch as an understanding of the former, from which the latter is but an outgrowth, is the objective of this book. While in general the only names given in English are those commonly used in that form, the etymology of all those which appear in technical form is to be found in the foot notes moreover, as far as is possible, the complete bna system has been presented, either as the name given or bracketed there after, that there may be a basis for further study and comparison with texts employing exclusively the newer terminology.
The author lays little claim to originality for the subject matter of the text, and has avoided a necessarily free scattering of references by grouping his sources as a bibliography, to which it is hoped the student will constantly refer for more detailed and conclusive information. If, indeed, this brain primer may but lay the foundation for further research in the vast field of nervous science, it will have fully attained its object.

Excerpt from An Elementary Study of the Brain
The introduction into the purely academic curriculum of an anatomical study of the brain, even as a higher course in zoology, presents many difficulties both to student and instructor. Its presentation, as differing from that in the professional school, must be necessarily of an elementary character - a necessity offering many obstacles with a subject which is essentially advanced. In the preparation of a textbook for such a course, neither the complexities of cerebral structure, nor the confusion of the associated nomenclature, can be successfully evaded. Yet the average academic student, only too often possessed of no especial interest in this department of science, is not only unschooled in anatomical research and terminology, but is likewise wholly unfamiliar with the principles upon which they are based.
To avoid these difficulties, as far as practicable, has been, then, the underlying motive in providing for the beginner this very simple introduction to the anatomy of the human brain, using the brain of the sheep, because of its general availability, relative simplicity, and practical identity to that of man, as the subject for dissection and the basis for comparison. The advantages of actual dissection are obvious; the book is, primarily, a laboratory manual for the student himself. It is designed, however, to be rather more than a manual - to be, if possible, a unit study of the brain, of a strictly elementary nature.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an accessible introduction to the study of the human brain, approaching it from a biological standpoint. It begins by exploring the evolution of the brain, providing a foundation for understanding its complexity. The author takes the sheep's brain as a model for investigating the anatomy of the human brain, offering a detailed examination of its major structures and their functions. The book delves into topics such as the development of the brain from the embryonic stage, exploring how its structures take form and connect. It also examines the interdependence of cerebral anatomy and physiology, highlighting how the brain's physical structure influences its ability to control bodily functions and engage in cognitive processes. Through this comprehensive approach, the book offers valuable insights into the intricate world of the human brain, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the field of neuroscience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
