The medical examination or inspection of the brain using a cerebroscope or other viewing instruments.
From cerebro- (brain) and -scopy (examination or observation), combining Latin cerebrum with Greek skopein. Developed as a medical term in the 1800s alongside advances in surgical instrumentation.
Cerebroscopy represents an early dream of neurology—directly visualizing a living brain—but it turned out to be incredibly risky since the brain is so delicate that you can't poke around in it safely.
