A concise account of the functional anatomy of the central nervous system. The anatomical organiza- tion is correlated with physiological activity. Emphasis is placed upon the morphological basis for progressively higher levels of control of activity from the simple reflex to voluntary motor activities controlled by the cerebral cortex. This type of know- ledge is required for proper understanding and perfor- mance of physical therapy technicians in the treatment of medical and surgical disease.
