Neurology - history of papers in a tree.

From the New England Journal of Medicine. Neurology 1812 - 2012 historical tree of neurological diseases with links to key papers (needs Flash).

This is an interesting idea presenting the connections between papers back into history. It risks over-simplifying the connections between concepts published at different dates. I wonder if I should rework my (far from brief) history of the electrocardiogram into something that is a little more visual and ... er ... thready like this. Definitely wouldn't use Flash though.
