Exhibition dates
18 June to 17 December 2013
The brain must surely be the most fascinating of all human organs. The early anatomists first explored its secrets; the physiologists began to investigate its pathways; the clinicians made clinic-pathological connections but we still have much to learn. This display includes many of the original works of the 14th to 19th centuries, which laid the foundations of our current knowledge of the neurosciences.
The exhibition is presented by the University Library’s Rare Books and Special Collections and International Society for the History of the Neurosciences.
