	Antiqua Medicina :: Alexandrian Medicine
		Herophilos elaborated a far-reaching doctrine of the pulse.
		Herophilos was chiefly guided by the musical theories of Aristoxenus of Tarentum, a Peripatetic philosopher and a musician, a pupil of Aristotle.
		Herophilos attempted to discover these rules, to reduce the rhythm of the pulse to mathematically expressible relations analogous to musical theory.

	Herophilus of Chalcedon, Erasistratus of Ioulis and the illness of Antiochus
		Although the pulse is referred earlier (for example by Aristotle in Animals 521a5f), it was the teacher of Herophilos, Praxagoras of Cos, who restricted the pulse to a distinct group of vessels and held that it could be used as an indicator of disease.
		Herophilos made further corrections on several points, maintaining that the pulse is not an innate faculty of the arteries, but one they derive from the heart, and distinguishing the pulse not merely quantitatively, but also qualitatively from palpitations, tremors and spasms, which are muscular in origin.

		The most important contribution to clinical medicine by Herophilos, a Greek anatomist living in Alexandria around 300 CE, was his development of the theory of the diagnostic value of the pulse.
		Although the pulse is referred to occasionally by earlier writers (for example by Aristotle in his Inquiry Concerning Animals), it was Herophilos' teacher, Praxagoras, who first restricted the pulse to a distinct group of vessels and held that it could be used as an indicator of disease.
		Herophilos corrected his master's teaching on several points, maintaining that the pulse is not an innate faculty of the arteries, but one they derive from the heart.

		Among the famous physicians of the Alexandrian era were Herophilos and Erasistratos, who were the first anatomists who dissected and described in details the parts of the human body, including the brain.
		Herophilos is well known since he developed the theory of the great diagnostic value of the pulse in heart diseases and stroke, maintaining that the pulse is not an innate faculty of the arteries, but one they derive from the heart itself.
		Herophilos also distingushed the cranial and spinal nerves into those of sensation and those of voluntary motion Herophilos believed that the ventricles are the seat of the human intelligence.

		Among his many accomplishments, Herophilos of Chalcedon is remembered for naming many anatomical parts, and for describing three parallel systems of vessels: the arteries, the veins, and the nerves.
		Herophilos traced the connections between the nerves, the spinal cord and the brain.

	The Doctrine of the Pulse
		Herophilos’ most important contribution to clinical medicine was his development of the theory of the diagnostic value of the pulse.
		Herophilos was probably influenced by the musical theories of Aristoxenus of Tarentum, a Peripatetic philosopher and a musician, who was a pupil of Aristotle.
		Herophilos is also said to have constructed a portable waterclock that was used to measure the pulse of patients.

		Herophilos is famous because he was the first doctor to correctly identify the pulse of one’s heart through the blood.
		However Herophilos also believed that the pulse was the music of the body, he eventually took this theory to the point where only a skilled musician could understand it.
		Erasistratos made leaps and bounds in the area of anatomy, and was able to correctly tell some of the different parts of the brain as well as being able to correctly identify some of the different kinds of nerves.

		Although none of their work has come to us directly, the first dissections of the human body are attributed to Herophilos of Chalcedon (fl.
		Herophilos introduced the term duodenum to describe the proximal twelve finger-breadth portion of the small intestine, and described the venous sinuses of the skull (their confluence was previously known as torcular Herophili = the winepress of Herophilus).
		He may also have given the name calamus scriptorius to the linear furrow on the floor of the fourth ventricle.

		He was especially fascinated with the human brain, and concluded that it was the centre for thinking and the nervous system, something Aristotle would have disagreed on.
		Herophilos also found a difference between the veins and the arteries, and said that the pulse is the result of the contractions and expansions of the arteries.
		He did not, however, see the connection with the heart.

		Galen built on Hippocrates' theory of the four humours, and his writings became the foundation of medicine in Europe and the Middle East for centuries.
		The Greek physicians Herophilos and Paulus Aegineta were pioneers in the study of anatomy, while Pedanius Dioscorides wrote an extensive treatise on the practice of pharmacology.
		Thales of Miletus is regarded by many as the father of science; he was the first Greek philosopher to seek to explain the physical world in terms of natural rather than supernatural causes.

	Human brain - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Greek scholars assumed correctly that the brain serves a role in cooling the body, but incorrectly presumed the brain to function as a sort of radiator, rather than as a thermostat as is now understood.
		The Alexandrian biologists Herophilos and Erasistratus were among the first to conclude that the brain was the seat of intelligence.
		Galen's theory that the brain's ventricles were the sites of thought and emotion prevailed until the work of the Renaissance anatomist Vesalius.

	CAAT: Animals and Alternatives in Testing: History, Science, and Ethics
		Dissection of human cadavers, a key element of contemporary medical training, has been viewed as both morally and legally unacceptable throughout much of history.
		Although practiced in ancient Egypt in the city of Alexandria, where Herophilos, Erasistratos, and others explored the nervous system, circulatory system, genitals, and the eye, human dissection was forbidden throughout Greece and later Rome.
		Galen's work in anatomy and physiology was seriously compromised by his inability to dissect human cadavers, a handicap that led to many errors not redressed until Vesalius' corrections 1,400 years later.

		The names of most scholars who worked at the Bibliotheca would sound uniformly Greek, but many were actually locals with Hellenised names.

		He was a Greek physician and anatomist born in the city of Chalcedon (in modern-day Turkey), but he spent most of his life in Alexandria, Egypt, where he became a co-founder of the city's medical school.
