Abstract
The heart and the brain were undoubtedly recognized by primi-tive man as the most vital of the organs, even though it was not until three hundred years ago that the relationship between them began to be clarified. The pulsations of the brain during life are mentioned in the Smith Papyrus, one of the earliest of medical texts, which was written around the seventeenth century B.c. (56), although this may have been a copy of a much older text dating back to the thirtieth century B.c. The ancient Egyptians and the early Greeks apparently did not distinguish between tendons, nerves, and blood vessels; the Ebers papyrus uses the same word (met)to describe them indiscriminately (73), and our words neuron and neurology come from the Greek vevpov, which originally meant “tendon.”
