NROB60H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 1: Molecular Neuroscience, Ventral Root Of Spinal Nerve, Dorsal Root Of Spinal Nerve
Document Summary
The society for neuroscience, an association of professional neuroscientists, was founded only relatively recently in 1970. The origin of neuroscience: nervous system the brain, spinal cord, and nerves of the body is crucial for life and enables you to sense, move, and think. If your answer is that the brain is the organ of sensation, then you have reached the same conclusion as several greek scholars of the fourth century b. c. e. ), the father of western medicine, who believed that the brain was not only involved in sensation but was also the seat of intelligence. The famous greek philosopher aristotle (384 322b. c. e) clung to the belief that the heart was the center of intellect. He believed it was a radiator for cooling blood that was overheated by the seething heart. The rational temperament of humans was thus explained by the large cooling capacity of our brain.
