Venae spermaticae post aures: The early modern angiology-neurology of virility J. Hist. Neurosci. (IF 0.5) Pub Date : 2023-03-17 Diederik F. Janssen
ABSTRACT The famous discussion of Scythian cross-dressers in Hippocrates’ Airs Waters Places (Aer.) 22 puzzled perhaps most medieval and Renaissance medical authorities. The text wrestled with a pre-Hippocratic, encephalocentric theory of spermatogenesis. Modern reception of the convoluted hypothesis put forward here gradually distilled three etiologies of failing virility: impotence, subfertility

ABSTRACT Between 1882 and 2016, the medical literature offered a variety of etiologic hypotheses to explain Joan of Arc’s voices, visions, and unwavering belief that she was the instrument of God. Although Joan lived from 1412 to 1431, there is extensive primary documentation of her life, including transcripts of her testimony during the Trial of Condemnation. Once this source material was compiled

ABSTRACT The cell doctrine—the theory of ventricular localization of the mental faculties—includes Galen’s idea of a locking or valve mechanism between the middle and the rear ventricle. The anatomical substrate was the vermiform epiphysis, known today as the vermis cerebelli. This entity played a significant role in brain physiology even though its appearance, texture, and location changed over time

ABSTRACT The amygdaloid complex is a crucial component of the basal forebrain that participates in the modulation of many homeostatic functions, emotional behaviors, and learning. These features require a widespread pattern of connections with several brain structures. In the past, the amygdaloid complex was divided into corticomedial and basolateral groups. The existence of a neuronal continuum linking

Historical forerunners of neuropsychiatry: The psychiatric works of Albert W. Adamkiewicz (1850–1921) J. Hist. Neurosci. (IF 0.5) Pub Date : 2022-07-22 Fabian-Alexander Tietze, Marcin Orzechowski, Moritz E. Wigand, Florian Steger
ABSTRACT Albert Wojciech Adamkiewicz (1850–1821) was a Polish neurologist and researcher who is best known for his description of the so-called Adamkiewicz-artery. In contrast to his achievements in neurology, his research in psychiatry from his time in Vienna (1891–1921) is commonly overlooked. We examined all titles of his publications from 1891 to 1921 and provided a close reading of those works

ABSTRACT Whereas some of Gall’s critics were quick to assail his organology as materialistic and fatalistic, others questioned his methods and scientific assumptions, especially his craniological tenets. The idea that the skull does not faithfully reflect the features of small, underlying brain areas was repeatedly brought up in the scientific debates. Critics pointed to the frontal sinuses above the

ABSTRACT Andreas Vesalius initially accepted Galen’s ideas concerning the rete mirabile in humans. In 1538, Vesalius drew a diagram of the human rete mirabile as a plexiform termination of the carotid arteries, where the vital spirit is transformed into the animal spirit, before being distributed from the brain along the nerves to the body. In 1540, Vesalius demonstrated the rete mirabile at a public

We have examined the history of the development of his protocols for mapping dermatomes by analyzing his lectures and publications from 1908 to 1939, focusing on his Schorstein Memorial Lecture in 1932 and his use of the isolation (Sherrington) method, in which a single dorsal root is spared in a sequence of resections
