A brief history of neuroscience:
There's been a wonderful series of posts at neuroscience blog Neuroevolution which have charted the history of cognitive neuroscience from ancient Greece to the age of the brain scanner.
There's been 26 posts in all, each of them a beautifully illustrated snapshot of a groundbreaking discovery.
The series tells the story of how we've come to understand more and more about the workings of the mind and brain, with each discovery building on the lessons of history.
Highly recommended.
