The Neuro Times is a fantastic new blog about the history of neurology written by a historian with a passion for the development of brain science.
The author is Stephen T Casper, whose own work has focused on how the US-UK collaborations and rivalries during the 20th century shaped our understanding of the brain.
Although the blog has a similar 20th slant it also casts its net a little wider making it a wonderful historical resource.
It has book reviews, profiles of influential neuroscientists from times past, and discussions of key moments and debates.
Excellent stuff.
In the past I used to see black and white photos of the “criminal” mind that looked like the one here. They also had the nervous system/spinal cord disection of the “schizophrenic” on display, as if it was a real disease.
I just wanted to thank you for noting my history of neuroscience blog. Mark’s comment above reminded of this WWI healthposter ( http://digital.lib.umn.edu/IMAGES/reference/swhp/SWHP0186.jpg )which hits upon the same theme.
Cheers
