Paul Broca (1824 ~ 1880)
Paul Broca was a French pathologist, neurosurgeon, anthropologist and the founder of modern brain surgery. He is well-known for his research on “Broca’s area” where he studied Aphasia throughout the 1850s and was the first person to show how speech defect was linked to a specific spot on the human brain by demonstrating autopsy. Broca’s area then revolutionized the perception of language processing, comprehension as well as speech production

Charles Darwin’s theory accommodated diverse evidence such as the progressive fossil record, the geographical distribution of species, the homologous structures and vestigial organs. Noticing the similarities among the species all over the world, Charles Darwin came to believe that “natural selection” lead to species gradually evolving to successfully adapt to the changing requirements of the natural habitat.
Ivan Pavlov (1849 ~ 1936)
Ivan Pavlov is a Russian physiologist well known for classical conditioning, research on physiology and digestion and for receiving the Nobel Prize in physiology in 1904. Ivan Pavlov devised the concept of conditioned reflex, where he conducted an experiment on training hungry dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell, which was related to the sign of food. Pavlov’s theory then highlighted the significance of associating human behavior to the nervous
