Document Summary

Neuroscience: past, present, and future: neuroscience is a young field of study and was founded recently in the 1970s. During these times it was believed that the heart, not the brain, was considered to be the seat of the soul and the repository of memories. This notion was not seriously challenged until the time of hippocrates: there appears a very clear correlation between structure and function. Differences in appearance predict differences in function: the head is specialized for sensing the environment. In the head are the eyes and ears, your nose and tongue. Thus the brain is the organ of sensation: the most influential scholar was hippocrates, father of western medicine, who stated his belief that the brain not only was involved in sensation but also was the seat of intelligence. Aristole, famous greek philosopher, clung to the belief that the heart was the center of intellect.
