Representation of the medieval cell doctrine from Johannes Romberch (c. 1480-1532/1533)

Representation of the medieval cell doctrine (1520) from German Dominican Johannes Romberch (Johann Horst von Romberch; c. 1480-1532/1533). Note the engraved connections from the special sense organs to the brain, particularly from the olfactory bulbs to the sensus communis in the anterior portion of the anterior ventricle.
