Roman medical history was an absolutely fundamental period in improving our understanding of how the body works. In this History of Neurosurgery video we cover both Roman history and Greek history and how it was so important in the development of neurosurgery today. We cover great figures including Galen, Hippocrates and Erasistratus and their contributions to our understanding of the brain and the eventual development of neurosurgery.
