The Human Nervous System in Everyday Behavior

The Big Picture of Human Anatomy and Neuroanatomy. Page down for my most recent blogs or click this link to start with the first one, an introduction to the mind and brain. The image links below have detailed explanations.

A midline or sagittal cut divides the brain into right and left halves. A coronal cut is right down through the face, showing both left and right halves. An axial cut is horizontal, from the front to the back.

The Human Nervous System

What makes up the human nervous system? How does it manage everyday behavior?

This website and blog will take you on a journey to discover how the human nervous system, normally and abnormally, affects our everyday behavior. Behaviors like eating, sleeping, dreaming, sex, language, thought, aggression, perception, memory, intentionality, and consciousness

My Books

I’m working on a set of books looking at the big pictures of the nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, human anatomy, as well as essays on human consciousness. I will try and keep this link updated to my available books or you can search for them on Amazon.com
