The concept of mind mapping stemmed from Dr. Edward de Bono, the famous founder of Lateral Thinking concept, in the 60s.
His key book, 'The Mechanism of Mind' showed how the nerve networks in the brain formed asymmetric patterns as the basis of perception.
From this basis, Edward de Bono developed the concept and tools of lateral thinking.
See his website: http://www.edwarddebono.com/
Dervied from the concept of lateral thinking, Tony Buzan was the originator of Mind Maps® in 1970.

The term "Mindmapping" was coined by Tony Buzan, author of
Using Both Sides of Your Brain, in the 1970's. Michael Gelb
explains in "How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci" that early
forms of Mindmapping were found in da Vinci's journals and
diaries. The fifteenth century Artist/Scientist gracefully used
both sides of his brains equally, becoming a genius at levels
people have aspired to for centuries.
By the way, have you ever tryed any mindmapping software? Just interesting to know your impressions. I am using ConceptDraw MindMap http://www.conceptdraw.com/mindmap to outline the books and lectures. It's easy to use and provides more design alternatives, than other programs.

Thanks for this discussion.
I would just like to offer a caution with this topic. Like all sciences, neuroscience progresses through the development of speculative theories. Scientists who develop there early theories do a great service to the field by framing questions that can be investigated. However, future investigation often reveals the many aspects of the theories are inconsistent with new research findings. Unfortunately, remnants of these inaccurate aspects often persist in public perceptions long after they have been disproved; these misconceptions are termed neuromyths. One common neuromyth involves the concept of being either “left-brained” or “right brained.” Please be aware that this is an oversimplification. It is not the case, for example, that artistic thinking occurs in one hemisphere and logic in another.
Thanks,
Christina
