GM 1032. Babkin's first book on the excretions of the digestive glands. An important book in the field, the second edition of which appeared in 1928.Babkin worked first with Bechterev, then as an assistant to Pavlov at the Institute of Experimental Medicine 1902-1912, where he studied pancreatic functions. In 1907 Privatdozent in physiology at the Agricultural Institute of Novo Alexandria, where in 1912 he was appointed to the 1912 Chair of Animal Physiology. In 1915 he became Professor of Physiology at the University of Odessa; in 1922 emigrated for political reasons, first to London, then to Canada.

Rothschuh History of Physiology, (Krieger, 1973), p. 334].

"Bekhterev contributed to the areas of neurophysiology, neuropathology, and the objective study of psychological phenomena. He studied the brain since 1883,demonstrating the control of vegetative functions by the thalamic regions and the existence of nerve centers that control the sympathetic nervous system. He also studied the reticular formation, the cerebellum, skin muscle centers, and demonstrated the existence of antagonistic nerve centers in the brain in 1895. Several brain structures are named in his honor" Zusne #226.

"Besides von Monakow, the leading Swiss neurologist of this century was Robert Paul Bing, professor of neurology at the University of Basel. Bing contributed to all aspects of clinical neurology and was largely instrumental in having neurology recognized as a specialty in Switzerland. His Kompendium (1909) has been used by four generations of neurologists, passing through eleven German editions and being translated into French and English. His Lehrbuch (1913) received similar acclaim" [McHenry Garrison's History of Neurology, p. 340].

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].

Grinstein #10670; Norman Catalog F152; Norman Freud Catalog 14 (both this copy).
Completed upon returning from his sabbatical in Paris and rushed into print, Freud's translation precedes the French edition, which appeared in 1887. Freud added a preface and footnontes. "Charcot was an influential figure in Freud's intellectual development. Freud studied with Charcot at the Salpêtrière from October 1885 until March 1886, and developed a lasting admiration for Charcot's mastery of neurology, his brilliance as a teacher, and his pioneering studies of hysteria and hypnosis. While still in Paris, Freud offered to translate the third volume of Charcot's Leçons sur les maladies du système nerveux, which had not yet been published" [Norman Catalog]..
Grinstein #10668; Norman Catalog F154 (this copy); Meyer-Palmedo & Fichtner 1892-94a. Freud also contributed a four page introduction and sixty-two footnotes (many critical of Charcot) to his translation of the first volume, originally published in parts 1892 to 1894 (which we've never seen). Freud's introduction and 14 of the footnotes "of psychological interest" are translated in the first volume of the Standard Edition, pp. 133-143, preceded by a brief but intelligent discussion of (lacking copies in the original parts) the impossibility of determining when the footnotes were actually first published. Freud's neurological writings (including the majority of footnotes in the present book) were omitted from the Standard Edition because Anna Freud adamantly opposed their inclusion. To this day little of his neurology has been translated into English (of the books only the 1891 Zur Auffassung der Aphasien, his last neurology book, the great 1897 Die infantile Cerebrallähmung (one of the foundation texts for pediatric neurology as a discipline), and the posthumously published Entwurf of the middle 1890s.

An interesting Austrian contribution to the literature of malingering with sections devoted to nervousness, neurasthenia, & traumatic neurosis; anesthesia, hypoaesthesia, & paresthesia; pain & hypersensibility; motor symptoms; vertigo; fainting, epilepsy, hysteria; imbecility. A second edition appeared in 1920. The "Erben Sign" (or "Phenomenon" or "Sign") is named after Erben, who practiced neurology in Vienna and who also wrote a book on neurasthenia.
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.

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.
Grinstein 10357; Norman Catalog F2.
Norman Catalog F4; Norman Freud Catalog F4; Grinstein 10382; Grinstein Freud Bibliography 31; Meyer-Palmedo & Fichtner 1879a. Freud's 4th published paper."In 1877, while still a medical student, Freud modified and improved the Reichert formula (a mixture of nitric acid and glycerin) used for preparing nervous tissue for microscopical examination. This was Freud's first invention, preceding by a few years his gold chloride technique. Although neither invention received widespread acceptance, Bernfeld emphasizes that these two new techniques foreshadowed Freud's later invention of the techniques of free association" [Norman Freud Catalog p. 19].
Grinstein 10371; Grinstein Freud Bibliography 21; Norman Catalog F13 (this copy). In both cases above Grinstein cites only the original 1888 journal appearance and is unaware of this appearance of Freud's paper in book form.First printing in book form "of a paper on two cases of hemianopsia in very young children, first published in 1888 in Vol. 38 of the Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift. Freud grouped the cases with the unilateral cerebral paralyses, a subject he investigated more fully in his Klinische Studie über die halbseitige Cerebrallähmung … . This was the first of a series of studies undertaken by Freud on cerebral palsy in children" [Norman Catalog].
