AB Neuroanatomy  plays  a  crucial  role  in  the  health  science  curriculum  by  preparing  students  to  understand  the  anatomical  basis  of  neurology  and  psychiatry.  Imaging  the  human  brain,  in  both  the  clinical  and  research  setting,  helps  us  to  identify  its  basic  structure  and  connections.  And,  when  the  brain  becomes  damaged  by  disease  or  trauma,  imaging  localizes  the  extent  of  the  injury.  Functional  imaging  helps  to  identify  the  parts  of  the  brain  that  become  active  during  our  thoughts  and  actions,  and  reveals  brain  regions  where  drugs  act  to  produce  their  neurological  and  psychiatric  effects.  Complementary  experimental  approaches  in  animals—such  as  mapping  neural  connections,  localizing  particular  neuroactive  chemicals  within  different  brain  regions,  and  determining  the  effects  of  lesioning  or  inactivating  a  brain  region—provide  the  neuroscientist  with  the  tools  to  study  the  biological  substrates  of  normal  and  disordered  behavior.  To  interpret  this  wealth  of  clinical  and  basic  science  information  requires  a  high  level  of  neuroanatomical  competence.
