Neuro Atlas
Six layers of human neuroanatomy.
An interactive body and head, from body regions to neurocutaneous fields. Every structure links onward to its educational page and to the formulations mapped to it. Layers are extended as the atlas is revised.

Greater occipital nerve
Posterior scalp to the vertex and the angle of the mandible.
Geometry: schematic placeholder. This structure is a data object awaiting verified vector geometry; the projection shown asserts no anatomical detail.
