Brain and Personality, or the Physical Relations of the Brain to the Mind

William Hanna Thomson (1833 - 1918)

One of the earlier works on brain science, relating what was then known or conjectured about the connection between the physical brain and the individual personality, including the ability of speech and language. As this is an early work (1910), some of the information related is, of course, outdated; but much of it is still relevant today. (Summary by TriciaG)
