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.|

With Victor Horsley, Clarke designed in 1906 the Horsley-Clarke Frame for making lesions in the central nervous systems of animals, which was used extensively for the next four decades. In 1908 Horsley and Clarke gave the definitive description for the design of an apparatus for the stereotactic study of cerebellar functioning in the monkey.

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.

University of Leiden doctoral dissertation.
Based on work done in the author's biological laboratory, this discusses factors contributing to wholeness of the individual in development and movement, with chapters ordered by degree of organismic complexity: protoplasmic tissue, the egg plasm & the blastula, the gastrula, the agangliionic CNS, the head ganglion, the ganglion chain, some intrinsic factors in nerve function, habit formation as a basis for mind.Moore took his PhD in physiology in 1911 under Loeb at the University of California, Berkeley; appointed professor of zoology in 1926 at the University of Oregon and in 1934 Research Professor of Psychology, which post he held until his retirement in 1948, after which he continued to teach at the University of Portland until 1954. His major research interests were mechanisms of fertilization and animal behavior.

GM-5 1293.1
"This monumental work sets out the cytological and histological foundations of modern neurology. Ramon y Cajal's research confirmed the neuron doctrine, his classification of neurons provided a histological basis for cerebral localization. His descriptions of the cerebral cortex are still the most authoritative" (GM-5).

Cooter Phrenology in the British Isles 1065.10 (1826 London edition). Stedman, the editor of the American edition, was Physician and Surgeon to the United States Marine Hospital, Chelsea. He contributed an 8-page preface and corrected mistranslations in the London edition.Summarizes Gall and Spurzheim's great Anatomie et physiologie du système nerveux (1810-19), the foundation text for modern theories of cerebral localization. They established "that the white matter of the brain consists of nerve fibers and that the grey matter of the cerebral cortex represents the organs of mental activity. They were the first to demonstrate that the trigeminal nerve was not merely attached to the pons, but that it sent root fibers as far down as the inferior olive in the medulla" and were among the first to examine the brain by cutting horizontal slices (described here in section IV "Of the Best Method of Dissecting the Brain"). "In addition they confirmed once and forever the medullary decussation of the pyramids" McHenry p.146. Also see numerous references to and excerpts from the Anatomie in Clarke & O'Malley Human Brain.
