Sushruta and Alcmaeon: A comparative analysis on the originators of neuroscience
Introduction
Alcmaeon ('Aλχμαιων´) of Croton (ca. 540 -? BC) was a Presocratic philosopher and physician who pioneered several medical discoveries. He taught at the medical school in Croton. By the 6 th century BC the medical school of Croton was reputed to be the finest among the Greek colonies which made up Magna Graceia. Although, Alcmaeon wrote many works none have survived. What we do know about the physician is through the writings of ancient scholars such as Diogenes Laertius and Aristotle. Laertius notes that Alcmaeon was a citizen of Croton (Laertius, 1853, p. 371), while Aristotle claims that the Crotoniate was a young man when Pythagoras was of advanced age and was the latter's pupil (Aristotle, 1896). Panagyres (2015) refutes this claim citing that no evidence exists that Alcmaeon and Pythagoras had ever met. Alcmaeon claimed (as did Hippocrates) that health was maintained by the balance of humors such as wet/dry, hot/cold, bitter/sweet, etc. Thus, an imbalance of humors triggered disease. Although, Alcmaeon did not originate humoral theory, his status as a physician did ensure that the precedents of this theory remained unchallenged for centuries. He favoured a practical tre

There are many aspects of naturopathic medical education which are being reviewed, repurposed, and reorganized right now. In the flurry of change and activity, thought leaders from outside our own community can sometimes provide useful and relevant insights for the path ahead. For example, take Dingeman Kuilman, the Dutch design and fashion thinker who led Premsela for many years (the Dutch platform for design and fashion focusing on the need for synergy in societal, cultural, and economic sectors in the design field). Kuilman’s ideas and track record resonate with what the naturopathic profession is dealing with. He is famous for his entreaty to Dutch artists to not forget their roots, most particularly the foundations of beauty in art. A skilled leader, he has often taken the least common denominators of our daily experience and converted them into enduring wisdom and practical purpose.
This grand skill shows up not only in his own work, but also manifests in strategies to balance the worrying trend at one point to put aside cultural concerns and focus instead on economic issues affecting art, forgoing the roots of artists’
