Born in Berlin, Brücke studied at the University of Berlin from 1838, with his final teacher being Johannes Müller, whose assistant he became in 1843, becoming friends with Helmholtz, Du Bois-Reymond, and Carl Ludwig. In 1848 he became professor of physiology at Königsberg and in 1849 at the University of Vienna, "where he founded a school for physiologists that eventually extended far beyond the borders of Austria and there worked until his death" [DSB II: 351]. He trained Exner, Cyon, and Sechenov, and greatly influenced Freud, who worked in his laboratory from 1876 to 1882, publishing his earliest scientific papers while there. "It is said that Brücke was one of the most versatile physiologists of his day. His Lectures on Physiology (1873-1874) confirms this; in it he added something of his own to almost every chapter" [DSB II: 531].

Cyon is most famous for his discovery of the vasomotor reflexes (see GM 819 for his & Ludwig's 1867 paper). A student and frequent collaborator with Ludwig, Cyon worked in Sechenov's department when he returned to St. Petersburg in 1868, succeeding Sechenov in 1870 as Professor of Physiology at the Military Academy, where Pavlov became his student. Cyon resigned his position in 1875, probably for political reasons, and moved to Paris, where he continued to pursue his experimental studies of the nervous system. The present work is his major publication on nerve and muscle physiology. The plates depict in exacting detail the instruments used in his experiments as well as the vivisection experiments themselves that he conducted on animals. For a brief discussion of Cyon, from which my account is largely taken, se Brazier's A History of Neurophysiology in the 19th Century, pp. 218-220.

Exner "identified the superficial tangential fibres of the molecular layer of the cerebral cortex, known eponymically as 'Exner's plexus'" [GM-5 #141] and identified the source of agraphia in the second frontal lobe convolution. Brücke's student and successor in Vienna, Exner cofounded the journal Zeitschrift für Psychologie und Physiologie der Sinnesorgane. "The relationship between psychic manifestations and the activity of the central nervous system occupied him time and again, as evidenced by his work on cerebral localization (1881). Concepts such as reaction time, facilitation and inhibition were coined and then explained by Exner" [Karl Rothschuh History of Physiology (Huntington, NY: Krieger, 1973), p. 242). Also see the numerous references in Boring's Sensation and Perception to Exner's experimental work on sensation.
