Gall and Spurzheim believed that the brain is composed of two orders of fibers, diverging and converging. This book provides an overview of the main points of their anatomical and physiological theories and discusses the broader context of their work, from antiquity to the present day. The author examines their ideas on the structure and function of the brain, including the medulla oblongata and the supposed cerebral nerves. The book concludes by discussing the historical and philosophical significance of Gall and Spurzheim's work and their influence on the field of neurology.
