Nolte's the Human Brain : An Introduction to Its Functional Anatomy

TLDR
A detailed overview of the human brain can be found in this article, where the authors describe the development of the Nervous System and the organization of the central nervous system, as well as the chemical senses of taste and smell.

Principles of Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Its Applications to Basic Neuroscience Research

TL;DR: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a recently developed MRI technique that can measure macroscopic axonal organization in nervous system tissues and several applications are introduced, including visualization of axonal tracts in myelin and axonal injuries as well as human brain and mouse embryonic development.

A New Anatomical Landmark for Reliable Identification of Human Area V5/MT: a Quantitative Analysis of Sulcal Patterning

TL;DR: The stereotaxic location of V5 was confirmed and a fairly consistent sulcal pattern in the parieto-temporo-occipital cortex was described, which made the ITS-ALITS junction a more reliable landmark for localizing V5 with respect to gross morphological features on individual cortical surfaces.

Update on Brain Tumor Imaging: From Anatomy to Physiology

TL;DR: The role of neuroimaging in patients with brain tumors is no longer simply to evaluate structural abnormality and identify tumor-related complications, but one that incorporates functional, hemodynamic, metabolic, cellular, and cytoarchitectural considerations.

A neurocognitive model of the ethical decision-making process: implications for study and practice.

TL;DR: This work builds upon current knowledge of how the brain functions to present a neurocognitive model of ethical decision making that suggests thatethical decision making involves 2 interrelated yet functionally distinct cycles, a reflexive pattern matching cycle and a higher order conscious reasoning cycle.
