Novelties in the Anatomy of the Central Nervous System and Related Disorders

Anatomy of the central nervous system (CNS) is far beyond the classical approach to anatomy investigations. Studies of the CNS are, nowadays, comprising various fields of medicine, starting from clinical investigations, up to the animal models, so they are useful in studies of different neuropsychiatric diseases and disorders, such as schizophrenia, posttraumatic stress syndrome, and Alzheimer's disease. Serious investigations in the field of the CNS are inseparable from the technological advances in the research, but also in diagnostics. This is the reason why we have gathered, at a glance, the papers that have very little in common. But the file rouge is the anatomy of the CNS and its changes illustrated in this unity in differences. Our initial aim was to illustrate the importance of the knowledge of CNS anatomy, for either the investigators in this field or the clinicians, devoted to solving the problem of serious neuropsychiatric diseases.
