May knowledge of the brain provide people of all nations
with greater tolerance, emphaty and appreciation of human behaviour

This coloring book has been written for everyone who wishes to learn about the brain--from the beginner to the professional. It represent a distillate of several decades of experience that the three authors have had in teaching medical students, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as the lay public.

The organization of this book follows the authors course outlines. It can be used in conjunction with most neurobiology courses. However, by coloring one plate each day or night, any informal learner can develop a personal and useful knowledge of the nervous system in a reasonable period of time.

In limited space, we have tried to interweave classical neural structure with recent research findings. The subject matter ranges from the basic anatomical characteristic of the nerve cell through developmental patterns to connections within the highest levels of the brain. Today, psychological and behavioral concepts are beginning to find grounding in the structure of the nervous system. For example, wakefulness and sleep, pleasure and pain, psychotic illness, epilepsy, stroke, paralysis, and speech are being linked to their organic foundations. A person who is interested in any of these areas of behavioral function or dysfunction can begin to appreciate their structural basis as these plates are colored. The development, maturation, and aging of regions of the brain; the flow and focusing of consciousness; the response of the celebral cortex to challenge; and the brain's own way of suppressing pain are representative of subject that are addressed in these pages.
