Morphology

neuroanatomical = neuroanatomy (transparent) = neuroanatomy + ical

Formed by standard adjectival suffixation from the noun 'neuroanatomy' ('neuroanatomy' + '-ical'), so the relation is directly derivable if the base is known.

Etymology

Neuroanatomical comes from neuro- ('nerve') and anatomy ('the study of body parts' or 'structure'), so it is about the parts and layout of the nervous system. So, neuroanatomical is used when we talk about the physical structure of the brain and nerves.
