Abstract

"The only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander to do," said David H. Lawrence. In this historical vignette, we look at the lives of certain western giants of neuroanatomy from the past. To understand the origin of today's advancements and successes in neurosurgery, a strong foothold on the path taken by anatomical greats is necessary. What curiosity inspired them to search the meaning of the human nervous system? Learning this from the paths of Herophilus, Galen, Franciscus Sylvius, Thomas Willis, Alexander Monro secundus, Luigi Rolando, François Magendie, and Martin Rathke, will propel us to create a better future for our successors.

西方神经解剖学巨匠的往事:昨日颂歌--第一部分。
"唯一的历史只是一个人内心挣扎的问题。但这正是其中的乐趣所在。大卫-H-劳伦斯说:"一个人既不需要发现美洲,也不需要征服国家,但他要做的事却和哥伦布或亚历山大一样伟大。在这段历史小插曲中,我们回顾了过去某些西方神经解剖学巨人的一生。要了解今天神经外科的进步和成功的起源,就必须牢牢把握解剖学伟人们所走过的道路。是什么好奇心激发了他们去探索人类神经系统的意义?从希罗菲勒斯、盖伦、弗朗西斯科斯-西尔维乌斯、托马斯-威利斯、亚历山大-蒙罗-塞康杜斯、路易吉-罗兰多、弗朗索瓦-马根迪和马丁-拉斯克的道路上学习这些知识,将推动我们为后人创造更美好的未来。
