This book functions as a text book and a dissection manual of the principal fibre pathways of the central nervous system. The need for the book arises from the fact that there are several dissection manuals which are suitable for a course on gross neuroanatomy, but none which includes anything except a very brief mention of fibre pathways. Wright's manual therefore aims to be an invaluable aid to anatomical study, dealing as it does with the complexities of fibre pathways in an accessible manner.
