In the frame of an historical section of the 2015 Featured Regional meeting of FENS in Thessaloniki, I was asked to talk on the ‘History of Neuroscience in Greece’. Realizing the impossibility of the task, I focused on only two points: the dawn of neuroscience in Greece and the current situation which threatens the survival of neuroscience in Greece. Both points are closer to provocative questions than to evidence-based conclusions.
