Freud was originally a neuroscience but neuroscience until recently treated psychanalysis as non-science and not worthy of consideration in any neuroscience. Mark Solms of Cape Town had an older brother who suffered a severe brain trauma when they were young children. It affected him greatly and he started out being a neuroscientist but the research to help people like his brother was tightly controlled, inadequate and splintered. He later trained as a psychiatrist and pioneered research into what was being ignored.
