Best Answer

Brain surgery is perhaps the oldest of the practiced medical arts. No hard evidence exists suggesting a beginning to the practice of other facets of medicine such as pharmacology -- using drugs, chemical and natural ingredients to help a fellow human being. There is ample evidence, however, of brain surgery, dating back to the late stone age.

In the late 19th century, the development of antiseptic methods and anesthesia led to the advent of modern surgery. In the area of brain research, Hughling Jackson, an English physician, pinpointed the location of particular functions in the cerebral cortex through the observation of seizure patients during the 1870s. Experiments on animals confirmed his research, which made possible the first modern brain surgery in 1884, when Rickman Godlee removed a brain tumor. Surgeons like William Macewen in Glasgow, Victor Horsley in London and Ernst Von Bergman in Germany followed suit, performing brain surgeries in the 1880s. During this period, neurologists, using their knowledge of localized functions of the brain, would direct the surgeon to the proper area for operation.
