Substantial additions have been made to our knowledge in every branch of this subject, "dawn has replaced empiricism, for seeing our darkness is being on the road to light." More frequently have depressed fractures of the skull been treated surgically, basal fractures have been successfully trephined, whilst more firm is the conviction that fractures of the spine, associated with evidence of injury or pressure of the cord, should not be left to that frequent refuge of inadequacy, the vis mediatrix naturœ, but rather, that if the general and local symptoms point to lesions that can be removed or relieved by elevation or extraction of vertebral débris, or the opening of the sheath to lessen tension, this should be done by the use of the elevator and trephine.

Download or read book A Hole in the Head written by Charles G. Gross and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on great figures and important issues, advances and blind alleys—from trepanation to the discovery of grandmother cells—in the history of brain sciences. Neuroscientist Charles Gross has been interested in the history of his field since his days as an undergraduate. A Hole in the Head is the second collection of essays in which he illuminates the study of the brain with fascinating episodes from the past. This volume's tales range from the history of trepanation (drilling a hole in the skull) to neurosurgery as painted by Hieronymus Bosch to the discovery that bats navigate using echolocation. The emphasis is on blind alleys and errors as well as triumphs and discoveries, with ancient practices connected to recent developments and controversies. Gross first reaches back into the beginnings of neuroscience, then takes up the interaction of art and neuroscience, exploring, among other things, Rembrandt's “Anatomy Lesson” paintings, and finally, examines discoveries by scientists whose work was scorned in their own time but proven correct in later eras.
