GM 1247 (1st German edition).
One of the great 20th century works in neuroscience, this is a much enlarged version of Kappers' encyclopedic Die vergleichende Anatomie des Nervensystems der Wirbeltiere und des Menschen. (Haarlem: Bohm, 1920, 1921, 2 volumes).

Includes Kappers's "The Phylogenetic Development of the Cerebellums" and "The fissuration on the Frontal Lobe of Sinantrhopus pekinensis Black, compared with the Fissuration in Neanderthalmen." The majority of the Kappers papers are in English, some in German, and only a handful in Dutch.

McHenry pp. 318 & 474; Haymaker & Schiller Founders pp. 405-07 (one of the weaker biographies). Bastian's most important contribution to theoretical neurology, of which discipline he was one of the pioneers in Britain.Professor of Pathological Anatomy at University College Hospital London, Bastian made classic contributions to aphasia and clinical neurology, performing fundamental studies of spinal paralysis and being the first to show that with total section of the upper spinal cord reflexes below the level of the lesion are lost. His alternate career, though a bit wacky, was equally interesting: Bastian was probably the last important scientist to believe in heterogenesis (the production of living forms from the unliving), about which he wrote a number of quirky, interesting books, often taking issue with Pasteur.|

A native of Auxerre and one of the earliest collaborators with Bernard, Bert is now best-known for his classic 1878 La pression barométrique, called by GM (#944) "the greatest work in the history of altitude physiology." The bulk of his scientific work, however, was in comparative physiology, beginning with his 1863 dissertation on the double innervation of the rat's tail. See Rothschuh's History of Physiology, p. 272.

Cited in McHenry's list of classical, original, and standard works in neurology. Magendie collaborated with Desmoulins on the section on physiology. Published shortly after Magendie's pathbreaking experimental confirmation in 1822 and 1823 that the anterior roots of the spinal cord are motor, of which he gave a much clearer conception than Bell.

University of Leiden doctoral thesis.
Grinstein 10357; Norman Catalog F2.
Freud's second published paper, written at the age of 21. Under the guidance of Carl Claus, head of the Institute of Comparative Anatomy in Vienna and founder of the Zoological Experimental Station at Trieste, Freud obtained a grant to travel to Trieste to work on the problem of the location of the eel testes. Dissecting 400 eels, Freud tentatively confirmed Syrski's 1874 observations. Claus read his paper to the Academy of Sciences on March 15, 1877, and it appeared in the April issue of its Bulletin. This is actually the first scientific paper Freud wrote for publication, although it appeared in print three months after a paper he wrote for Brücke.
Text in English and German.

Prominent Chicago functionalist and one of the founders of an "American School of Neurolology," Herrick "studied the vertebrate brain for forty years, endeavoring to relate data from physiology, psychology, and psychiatry. His principal conclusion was that the brain of the lower animals is the basis of the brain structure of all higher animals" [Zusne]. In 1894 Herrick took over the Journal of Comparative Neurology (founded in 1891 by his brother Clarence), funding its deficits from his own meager professorial salary. In 1908 Herrick deeded the Journal to the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia. Herrick continued as managing editor until 1927, when he induced G. E. Coghill to take his place while he remained chairman of the Editorial Board. See Zusne's Biographical Dictionary of Psychology, p. 188 and George W. Bartelmez's biography of Herrick in Vol. 43 of the National Academy of Sciences's Biographical Memoirs, pp. 77-108 (with a complete bibliography of Herrick's publications).

A Swedish neurobiologist, Ingvar specialized in the study of the cerebellum. The present monographic article is probably close to identical to his 1918 book of about the same title published in Haarlem by F. Bohn. A book by Ingvar on the cerebellum appeared in English in 1923, probably derived from the present monograph.
