Diseases of the nervous system are a relatively small but vitally
important part of medicine. There was no scientific basis for
diagnosis or treatment until the seventeenth century when Dr Thomas
Willis (1621-1675) and his team tackled anatomy by dissection of
the nervous system, physiology by animal experiments and pathology
by post-mortem analysis. It was Willis who first used the word
"neurology" and his team, who were among the founders of the Royal
Society, included Christopher Wren who, besides being famous as an
architect of London's churches, drew the first modern diagram of
the human brain. Developments in our knowledge of the nervous
system in the following centuries, and the unique importance of
clinical neurology, became globally recognised through the work of
Whytt, Heberden, Hughlings Jackson, Gowers and many others.The work
and discoveries of these eminent specialists were extended with the
introduction of such neurosciences as neurophysiology,
neuropathology and neuro-radiology, and this is the first
comprehensive account of a battle with the unknown by determined
practitioners.
