The anatomist and brain scientist Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) developed the "phrenology" in the early 19(th) century. At this time, his new teachings were more seen as a temporary fashion than science and were discredited. No more than hundred years ago, it was realised that the phrenology established the basis of modern brain sciences. By all means Gall was the first one to combine defined regions of the cerebral cortex with distinct cognitive functions.
解剖学家兼脑科学家弗朗茨·约瑟夫·加尔(1758 - 1828)在19世纪早期创立了“颅相学”。在那个时候,他的新学说更多地被视为一种一时的风尚而非科学,并且受到了质疑。仅仅在一百年前,人们才认识到颅相学为现代脑科学奠定了基础。加尔无疑是第一个将大脑皮层的特定区域与不同认知功能联系起来的人。
