History of Cognitive Neuroscience
Galen of Permagon (130-200AD)
● Roman gladiators
● Physician to the Roman Emperors
● Speech loss (?? look in text)
Thomas Willis (1621-1675)
● A founder of clinical neuroscience - coined the word Neurology
● First anatomist to link abnormal behaviour to changes in brain structure
● Would take notes of patients behaviour and conduct brain autopsy after death to look for
possible damage
● Coined names for many brain regions
● Image was published in Willis’s The Anatomy of the Brain and Nerves in 1664
● These pictures of the brain were the most accurate for almost 200 years
● Great fire of 1666 in London, most of the noteworthy buildings in the 1600s (St. Paul’s
cathedral)

Document Summary
Midterm 1 (weeks 1-4) thurs oct 5 30% Final (weeks 1-8 emphasis on weeks 8-12) 40% A founder of clinical neuroscience - coined the word neurology. First anatomist to link abnormal behaviour to changes in brain structure. Would take notes of patients behaviour and conduct brain autopsy after death to look for possible damage. Image was published in willis"s the anatomy of the brain and nerves in 1664. These pictures of the brain were the most accurate for almost 200 years. Great fire of 1666 in london, most of the noteworthy buildings in the 1600s (st. paul"s cathedral) Contours of the skull provided information about the cognitive capabilities and personalities of individuals. His method involved correlating variations in character with variations in skull shape. According to phrenology, moral and intellectual faculties depend on the physical structure of an individual brain. Differential development (usage) results in differential growth.
