Nervous System: Circuits of Communication — John Clark (The Human Body, Torstar Books, 1985)

The volume devoted to the nervous system in Torstar Books’ acclaimed illustrated series The Human Body, published in the mid-1980s. A high-quality work of popular science, designed to make human anatomy and physiology accessible to the general reader.

The book explores the nervous system as a vast communication network: the transmission of nerve impulses, the architecture of the brain and spinal cord, the role of peripheral nerves, and the mechanisms behind sensation, movement, memory and perception — all supported by the full-colour illustrations, anatomical diagrams and photography that made this series famous.

Perfect for medical, biology and nursing students, teachers, and any reader curious about how the human body works. Also sought after by collectors of vintage 1980s illustrated science books.
