Abstract Neuroanatomy deals with morphological study and organization of nervous system including brain, spinal cord, ganglia, Nerve etc which is formed basically by gray matter and white matter. Anatomical discussion in relation to neuroanatomy in Ayurveda bears limited consideration. Available references highlight neurological aspect mostly from functional and applied preview. The present research work elucidates all the available terminology which comes in relation to neuroanatomy with interpretation from much proximal entity.
“Sira” is the most common term used for head [brain]. It also indicates head [brain] and neck together and even sometimes brain with cranium in specific. While describing the “dasa pranayatan” and “siro roga”, it indicates the head with brain but however in relation to regional anatomy i.e. sadaanga or disease related to eye, ENT etc are understood with morbidity of head and neck together. “mastaka” and “mastishka” are the exact terminology for Brain. “mastishkagata sneha” indicate brain matter including gray matter and white matter. “mastulanga,” “mastiska majja” mentioned by Dalhan may incorporate with cerebral cortex and medullary core respectively. “Mastiska randhra” is better to understand for frontanalle specifically anterior frontanalle. Motor and sensory nerve identify with “sanga vaha” and “chesta vaha srota” respectively. Nadi in applied aspect incorporate with vessels in Ayurveda but in Yogic anatomy emphasis for nerve fibre, cord or tract. “Sira” specially “vata vaha sira” clearly indicate volitional action of extremity and autonomous activities of viscera.
The present work highlights all this aspects emphasizing histology and dissection point of view
