A Medical & Historical Re-evaluation of Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology in Ancient Egypt

Join us in Manchester on the 15th May, 2024 at Hetherington’s Cafe Bar, 8 Pollard St, Manchester, M4 7AJ (7.30-10pm). I’ll be discussing my research on the “Importance and Function of the Human Brain in Ancient Egypt” for the Pint of Science Festival.

What understanding did the ancient Egyptians have of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and did they really discard the brain during the mummification process? Come and find out!
