Neuroanatomy for the Neuroscientist
Neurology, more than any other system of medicine, is rooted in the firm knowledge of basic science material (i.e., the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system). This material enables students to readily arrive at diagnoses and to a

About the Author
Dr. Elliott Marcus, Professor of Neurology at University of Massachusetts (Emeritus). At 78, Dr. Marcus – a neurologist and educator for five decades at Tufts Medical Center, Tufts University School of Medicine, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School at Saint Vincent Hospital – died on July 25, 2011 in Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Even as the end drew near, Dr. Elliott Marcus pressed on with his life’s work: sharing the knowledge he had gleaned through a lifetime of dedicated study and teaching neuroscience. He received his undergraduate education at Yale University and earned an MD from Tufts University School of Medicine. He was trained in neurology at Tufts Medical Center and also served with distinction for two years in the US Army. He taught at Tufts University School of Medicine from 1964 to 1976 where he was the “father” of neuroscience teaching to medical students. He then moved to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Worcester Massachusetts in 1976 where he was Chief of Neurology. He also was a Professor of Neurology at the University of Massachusetts and an active member of that department. He was a clinical neurologist and he published many papers on diagnosis and treatment of seizure disorders. He retired in 1998 and continued active teaching of neurology residents and medical students at UMass until just before his death. Even as non-Hodgkin
