Abstract:
Delivered in spring 1665 with the patronage of Parisian Melchisedec Thévenot, this speech sets the basis for a more organic and modern study of the encephalon, analizing critically before and made attempts to explain its functions, errors due to the not always orthodox different techniques of observation, the various and obscure terminology used to indicate its different components, the designer's incapacity to reproduce exactly its structure.
