Wax Anatomical Models and Neuroscience: From Artistic Italian Creation to Therapeutic Approach
Wax modelling has been used since ancient times with its first application in art in the fifteenth century involving famous artists with knowledge of anatomy. It was only in the seventeenth century that coloured ceroplastic began to be used for teaching anatomy as valid alternative to dissected human bodies, including also neuropathological. The origin of this scientific approach was born in central Italy, in Florence and Bologna in the eighteenth century, and immediately spread to other Italian cities, and Europe, and throughout the rest of the world. Wax neuro-models were shown as artefacts and destined to train young doctors in anatomical knowledge. Nowadays, wax is often considered an old-fashioned art form but what is not well known is that wax has a useful therapeutic application in medicine, with a particular emphasis in neurosurgery
