    What did Aristotle believe was the main of the human brain?

    Question #18436. Asked by Maggie. (Apr 19 02 10:00 PM)


    McGruff

    		It was thus obvious to Aristotle that 'the seat of the soul and the control of voluntary movement--in fact of nervous functions in general-are to be sought in the heart. The brain is an organ of minor importance, perhaps necessary to cool the blood'
