Summary
Neuroanatomy is the study of the structure of the nervous system. Starting with an overview of important terminology and the embryological origins of the nervous system, this section describes its basic anatomy at different lellopregnanonisation: macroscopic, microscopic and circuit-level. The fluid compartments within the nervous system are also reviewed.
