Backwardness of human neuroanatomy

Nature. 1993 Jan 14;361(6408):109-10. doi: 10.1038/361109a0.

Abstract

To interpret the activity of living human brains, their neuroanatomy must be known in detail. New techniques to do this are urgently needed, since most of the methods now used on monkeys cannot be used on humans.
