Pioneering German journal of neurohistology and neuropathology, founded by Nissl in 1904. Band I contains Alzheimer's important "Histologische Studien zur Differenzialdiagnose der progressiven Paralyse," (pp. 18-314, with 11 double-page mostl y color lithographic plates and 3 photomicographic plates and 23 text figures); and Nissl's "Zur Histopathologie der paralytischen Rindenerkrankung" (pp. 315-494).

The first textbook of histology and "a landmark in the history of anatomy and biology. It went through six editions and was translated into English, French and Italian" [Ralph Major's History of Medicine 2: 884]. Da Costa was in the process of translating the book when he learned that the Syndenham edition was being published, so he used the British translation, adding the notes he had prepared for his own translation. Da Costa's 1871 paper "On Irritable Heart: A Clinical Study of a Form of Functional Cardiac Disorder and its Consequences" was the second description of "soldier's heart" or "effort syndrome." Th ough first described by Myers the year before, the syndrome became known as Da Costa's syndrome.

Kölliker's breakthrough "lay in presenting the study of tissue in terms of the cell theory" [DSB VII: 438]. Müller, Virchow, Schleiden, and Köllike r might together be construed as the mid-19th century architects of the scaffolding of modern medicine.
