"How can the study of brain damage inform our understanding of the human brain? The study of brain injury is an imperative tool when trying to understand the in-depth workings of “the most complex object in the known universe”. We have been studying the brain for thousands of years. From Hippocrates in 468BC‚ describing epilepsy as a disturbance of the brain‚ to our modern day MRI and CT scans able to image the brain in great detail our knowledge is always growing.

Julien Bachir The idea of the human beings having a soul‚ spirit or mind has long been used; although religions started using it four thousand years ago for different reasons‚ some people that simply had a thirst for knowledge started seeking a true answer to this question not that long ago. Indeed‚ this question has seriously been thought about and logically questioned in the last 400 years starting with Descartes who thought that human beings do have an immaterial mind (mind and body dualism)

His methods allowed for the first time the investigation of phenomena that were previously difficult to tackle‚ such as dreams and sexual desires. “Yes and No” is a justified reply to the question of whether Freud is relevant today in that his ideas on personality were the first to investigate the role of childhood trauma‚
