Abstract
A historical account of the "medieval" period of stereotactic brain surgery characterizes it as a time of instrument development, choosing of treatment targets, and close rapport between patients and neurological surgeons. Pioneers had frequent contact with the next tier of investigators. Brain function and instrumentation became better understood, leading to the more recent exponential advancements in the field.
