Summary
A thorough knowledge of gross human neuroanatomy is important in understanding basic and clinical neuroscience. In this chapter we describe the key anatomical features of the human brain followed by a discussion on the main developmental processes and signaling mechanisms of neurogenesis and embryology. Finally, we introduce the reader to different model organisms commonly used in neuroscience research.
