Part Two examines Galen's anatomical understanding of the brain, especially the ventricles. Part Three offers a critical evaluation of Galen's physiolgy of the brain. This is the first monograph to offer a detailed account of this subject, setting it within the cultural and intellectual contexts of its era, and will be of interest to those in classics, medical history, history andphilosophy of science and the history of ideas. 410 0$aStudies in ancient medicine ;$v26. 606 $aBrain$xAnatomy 606 $aNeurophysiology 615 0$aBrain$xAnatomy. 615 0$aNeurophysiology. 676 $a611.8 700 $aRocca$b Julius$f1956-$0688230 701 $aGalen$0739718 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783491303321 996 $aGalen on the brain$93722005 997 $aUNINA
