Dramatizes key events in the life of Emanuel Swedenborg, including his breakthroughs in anatomy and brain research, his discovery of endocrine glands, his invention of an aircraft, and his assistance in founding the sciences of crystallography and metallurgy. Also explores his religious and philosophical beliefs
During the 1730s, Swedenborg undertook many studies of anatomy and physiology. He had the first known anticipation of the neuron concept.[25] It was not until a century later that science recognized the full significance of the nerve cell. He also had prescient ideas about the cerebral cortex, the hierarchical organization of the nervous system, the localization of the cerebrospinal fluid, the functions of the pituitary gland, the perivascular spaces, the foramen of Magendie, the idea of somatotopic organization, and the association of frontal brain regions with the intellect. In some cases, his conclusions have been experimentally verified in modern times.
