Could a case be made for the first systematic approach to what we know today as neuroscience as emanating from the lab and pen of Donald Olding Hebb (Organization of Behaviour, 1949)? I would not claim he was the first physiologiocal psychologist because he studied at the feet of great ones, but his book might rank as the first systematic attempt to combine psychology and physiology.
