Brain, Vision, Memory

图书介绍

Brain, Vision, MemoryTales in the History of NeuroscienceCharles G. GrossCharles G. Gross is an experimental neuroscientist who specializes in brain mechanisms in vision. He is also fascinated by the history of his field. In these engaging tales describing the growth of knowledge about the brain–from the early Egyptians and Greeks to the Dark Ages and the Renaissance to the present time–he attempts to answer the question of how the discipline of neuroscience evolved into its modern incarnation through the twists and turns of history.

Endorsements”Gross’s tales of the history of neuroscience can be warmly recommended to all students of the brain, but especially to those who believe that history began when they were undergraduates. Informative and amusing in equal part, Gross is as fair to those who were wildly wrong as to those who were (relatively) right. . . . Never less than fascinating. ”

Gross is an experimental neuroscientist specializing in vision. While he was completing his Ph.D thesis in 1960 he became interested in the history of the subject and has continued to write about it since then. The book covers a wide span of time, beginning with ancient Egypt and ending in the early 1980s. Chinese medicine hardly comes into the story since the role of the brain was not recognized in China until the idea was introduced by a Jesuit in 1595.
In the early dynastic period in Egypt physicians made rational and empirical observations of the effects of brain injury, but in the Middle Kingdom, from about 2000 BCE, there was a trend towards mystical and religious speculation. However, at all times in Egypt the heart was accorded more importance than the brain, a bias that continued to be felt for many centuries afterwards in other cultures.
