Summary
This chapter provides a brief review of basic neuroanatomy, followed by a more detailed description of structures and pathways important for neuropsychiatric practice. The focus will be on the limbic brain and the functional anatomy of emotion, memory, cognition and behaviour. A more comprehensive review of general neuroanatomy can be found in standard textbooks such as Johns, Clinical Neuroscience.
