Connectionists: Quantitative Analysis of Neuroanatomy special issue / ebook

[Stephen Eglen]

On behalf of all the editors, I am pleased to announce the release of
our special issue on the Quantitative Analysis of Neuroanatomy. All
articles have been published in Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. As of March
2016, all papers are now freely available as an Ebook either in PDF or
EPUB format.

The aim of this Research Topic is to examine theoretical and
experimental work directed at a detailed and comprehensive
quantitative understanding of neuroanatomy. Integrating such knowledge
with functional data should provide a more complete understanding of
how the nervous system in different animal species is organized to
generate appropriate behaviour.
