Biografische Anmerkung

Andreas Vesalius is the greatest anatomist of all time. His work, the Fabrica, published almost 500 years ago, signposts a new era in medicine. Brain Renaissance translates and comments upon those chapters dedicated to the brain, and learns how his words still resonate in neuroscience today.
