he defined madness (Junun) as originating in the middle part of the brain.
Does anyone know if this is still a current belief. I am looking for information that confirms or denies this but can't seem to find any yet? Has anyone one else seen if this is true? I was looking around and someone stated that it can be all parts of the brain not just singular but other sources say something a little different. Does anyone have a definite answer?
the connection between psychology and biology was recognized.
We should memorize this information as important on history of biopsychology.
However, there were early Greeks, such as Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.E.) , who believed that it was the brain and not the heart where the locus of the mind resided. He wrote: "It ought to be generally known that the source of our pleasure, merriment, laughter, and amusement, as of our grief, pain, anxiety, and tears is none other than the brain. It is specially the organ which enables us to think, see, and hear......It is the brain too which is the seat of madness and delirium, of the fears and frights which assail us"
Hi Everyone, I think we could certainly make note of this information Hippocrates was the first person we know of to speculate that the brain was the primary source of functions in our behavior and not the heart or any other organs. This could come up on a test in the future.
