A 1914 depiction of a neuron cell body by a scientist that personally inspires me, Santiago Ramón y Cajal. The image appears in Portraits of the Mind, a new book on the history of neuro-imaging represented by the images, and the Smithsonian magazine feature Beauty of the Brain.

Though a name isn’t noted in the text, the case study notes (no loss of intelligence, negative personality change) lead me to believe that this is the inimitable Phineas Gage. Anyone who doesn’t know his story should go to the link and read the Smithsonian article on him. 

From Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine. George M. Gould & Walter L. Pyle, 1900.

The Utica Crib for uncooperative patients at insane asylums, and later, at (somewhat) more legitimate “institutions”.
