Editor's Notes: Insights on the Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience - Volume 7, Issue 6

Thomas Willis - A 17th century physician and neuroanatomist coined the term 'neurologie' in his posthumous publication titled 'Cerebri Anatome', which is synnonimous to the modern day's 'Neurology'. He is also regarded as the 'Father of Clinical Neuroscience'. Though, the concept on brain structure and remedies for brain diseases were included in the 'Sushruta Samhita', which is a collection of Ayurvedic medicinal practice mannual written in between 1200 - 600 B.C. by the first surgeon of the world-Sushruta. Now-a-days, neurology and neuroscience are appreciated with separate study stream, though both are having overlapping zone of study.
