The discipline of neurology emerged in the second half of the 19th Century. With it,
chairs and departments of neurology, training programs, specialized journals, and
new societies came into being. Trying to understand disorders of the nervous system,
however, has roots that can be traced back into antiquity, and the new discipline
did not develop in similar ways throughout the world. Further, whereas some neurological
disorders seemed relatively easy to understand even before there was a neurological
examination, others posed challenges, and many still remain shrouded in mystery. The
authors of the present volume examine the fascinating prehistory of neurology, its
emergence with as an independent discipline, and how it developed throughout the world.
They also look at a number of neurological disorders, some sensory, others motor,
and still others affecting higher cognitive functions, to illustrate how our understanding
of neurological disorders has changed over time. With 55 chapters, many covering material
that has received little or no coverage in other books, this history of neurology
is unique in its breadth and depth. Filling a great void, its pages are laced with
fascinating medical facts, information about people, and cultural connections
