Definitions for "Neuroanatomy"
the anatomy of the Nervous system, brain, spinal chord, peripheral nerves etc.
The anatomy of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.
Neuroanatomy is the branch of anatomy that studies the anatomical organization of the nervous system. In vertebrate animals, 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.
