Neuroanatomy on XXIth Century

For a long time, neuroanatomy was considered as a "terra incognita" reserved for a small group of specialists. The advent of MRI, which is as well an anatomical as a functional imaging has changed radically the scope of neuroanatomy.

Virtual dissection and functional studies became possible. The crossover between disciplines opens new research issues in psychiatry, genetics and vascular diseases. & COPY; 2022 l'Academie nationale de medecine. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS.
