The Role of Galen and the Ventricular Theory
- Galen (A.D. 130–201) was a Roman anatomist and physician considered a supreme figure in ancient medicine.
- Galen’s contributions included:
- Advancing the anatomic knowledge of the brain.
- Being the first experimental physiologist and physician.
- Identifying many major brain structures and how brain trauma affects behavior.
- The ventricular theory was a dominant belief in ancient medicine.
- The theory proposed that thought, sensation, and movement were located in the brain's ventricles.
- Despite Galen’s significant contributions, his belief in the ventricular theory was incorrect.
- Vesalius (1514–1564) corrected Galen’s anatomical errors, particularly regarding the ventricles.
- Galen had erroneously believed the ventricles were similar in size in animals and humans, while Vesalius revealed that the size varied significantly.
Albertus Magnus and Early Departure from the Ventricular Theory
- Albertus Magnus, a German Dominican monk, developed a theory proposing that behavior resulted from a combination of brain structures.
- Magnus's theory included the cortex, midbrain, and cerebellum, marking a step away from the ventricular theory.
