Episode 28. Inception - Laying the Medical Foundations of Neurology

Episode 28. Inception - Laying the Medical Foundations of Neurology

In this second episode on the history of neurology, I go back in time to explore how the founders of medicine, from Herophilus and Aristotle to Hippocrates and Galen, laid the foundations of neurology.

The journey takes us from ancient Egypt to Greece, back to Egypt, and then to Belgium.

And the running theme is how the understanding of the brain and its diseases evolved in unexpected ways as the means of studying it changed over time.

The podcast traces the early views of the brain, describing it depictions in such texts as the Edwin Smith papyrus, and later in De Humani Corporis Fabrica, the masterpiece written by the remarkable anatomist Andreas Vesalius.
