System Neuroscience
Neurologists and neuroscientists were finally able to locate the regions involved in particular functions as well as to elucidate the underlying mechanisms thanks to a number of technological and medical advancements. This discovery was primarily made possible by advancements in anaesthetic techniques and the discovery of antibiotics on the medical side, and by the technical development of techniques that allowed single neurons to be recorded in anaesthetized animals first and then in animals that were behaving later. The heyday of system neuroscience was just beginning
