According to Nemesius' doctrine, all sensory perceptions were received in the anterior - now called lateral - ventricles of the brain. The middle or, as it is now called, third ventricle was the region of the faculty of intellect. This is the area that was responsible for controlling the "judging, approving, refuting, and assaying" of the sensory perceptions which are gathered in the lateral ventricles. The third faculty was that of memory, the storehouse of all sensory perceptions after they had been judged by the faculty of intellect. The idea of ventricular localisation of the mental faculties in the form presented by Nemesius was first attacked in 1521 by Berengario da Carpi. Vesalius delivered the coup de grace to the entire theory in 1543' (DSB). (ESTC S113134; Pforzheimer 1085).…
