Project funded under the FENS call for history of neuroscience projects.

Throughout its history, art has found in science a source of inspiration. From Surrealism to Art Brut or the most recent Neuroart, many artists have been influenced by neurology and neuropsychiatry advances. Likewise, neuroscience has used art not only as a research topic but also as a way to represent many of its findings. Leonardo Da Vinci or Ramon y Cajal showed us the beauty of the brain with a strong reliance on visual representation.
