A history of the brain
2 - 3 weken
This book describes how we have come to understand the brain throughout the ages, from prehistory and antiquity, to the establishment of the basic fundamentals of modern neuroscience.
A History of the Brain tells the full story of neuroscience, from antiquity to the present day. It describes how we have come to understand the biological nature of the brain, beginning in prehistoric times, and progressing to the twentieth century with the development of Modern Neuroscience.
This is the first time a history of the brain has been written in a narrative way, emphasizing how our understanding of the brain and nervous system has developed over time, with the development of the disciplines of anatomy, pharmacology, physiology, psychology and neurosurgery. The book covers:
beliefs about the brain in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome
the Medieval period, Renaissance and Enlightenment
the nineteenth century
the most important advances in the twentieth century and future directions in neuroscience.
The discoveries leading to the development of modern neuroscience gave rise to one of the most exciting and fascinating stories in the whole of science. Written for readers with no prior knowledge of the brain or history, the book will delight students, and will also be of great interest to researchers and lecturers with an interest in understanding how we have arrived at our present knowledge of the brain.
