Netter's Atlas of Neuroscience, 4th Edition, is a textbook designed for students of neuroanatomy, neuroscience, basic science programs, and clinical programs. The text provides an overview of cellular and molecular neuroscience, neurons and their properties, developmental neuroscience, neural vasculature, meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, the spinal cord, brain stem, cerebellum, and the peripheral nervous system.

Content within the text is structured around three core perspectives: Neuroscience Overview, Regional Neuroscience, and Systemic Neuroscience. This organizational model allows learners to examine foundational properties alongside sensory systems, motor systems, autonomic-hypothalamic-limbic systems, and global brain functions. Each section connects structural organization with functional neuroanatomy across central and peripheral nervous systems.

A key pedagogical feature is the integration of detailed illustrations by Frank H. Netter, MD, and contributing artists alongside modern neuroimaging, high-magnification photomicrographs, and summary diagrams. This visual strategy assists students across basic science curricula and clinical training tracks in mastering complex anatomical relationships.
