Neuroanatomy is a term that is used to refer to the anatomy of the neural structure and the nervous tissue. It happens that there exists a very elaborate route in vertebrates that the myriad nerves are said to take in delivering all the information from the brain to all the other parts of the body which is commonly known as the periphery. The internal structure of the brain also happens to have a very complex and elaborate structure. This is the reason as to why the neuroanatomy has developed to become a discipline on its own and can therefore be referred to as the study of the gross structure of the nervous system and the brain.

The nervous system in human beings is divided into two parts which are the peripheral and the central nervous system. The central nervous system is known to comprise of the spinal cord and the brain and it is known to play a major role in behavior control. On the other hand is the peripheral nervous system which comprises of the all the other neurons found in the body which are outside the central nervous system. Ethical and moral thinking can therefore be classified under the two divisions which are the peripheral and the central nervous system. The peripheral division is known to have some subdivisions such as the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system which is responsible for flight or fights.

Ethical and moral thinking are mostly found in what is referred to as the prefrontal lobes. Out of the different scientific studies that have been conducted, it is clear that the left prefrontal lobes act as the house for the use of the concepts of right or wrong. It is also the place where these concepts of right or wrong are learned. It also happens that in the right prefrontal lobes, we associate our feelings with different images related to right or wrong.
