Brain and Nervous System, 16th Century
Illustration of the brain and nervous system from De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body) Andreas Vesalius (December 31, 1514 - October 15, 1564). Vesalius recognized the brain as the center of the nervous system, as opposed to the heart or the liver as a number of anatomists before him had suggested. This image has been color enhanced.
