Abstract

Aciduman et al. made a very attentive and authoritative evaluation of our letter, “The ventricular system in the Renaissance”. Avenzoar reported the Nemesius of Emesa’s three brain compartments and In the chapter on de mania, Avenzoar also follows the Nemesius of Emesa’s brain cells theory. The absence of anatomical brain reference in Avenzoar’s writings other than anterior or posterior, prevents a document-based statement. Avenzoar followed the Nemesius of Emesa’s traditional teachings, and the location of functions in the brain cannot be attributed to him.
