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.|
"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.
GM 1254; Heirs of Hippocrates 1301; Wozniak Mind and Brain #33 & pp. 35-36 (all the 1811 edition)."In the New Anatomy, Bell employed anatomical evidence to support the assertion that the ventral roots of the spinal cord contain only motor and the dorsal roots only sensory fibers. In so doing, he overturned centuries of tradition in which it was implicitly assumed that nerve fibers were indiscriminate with respect to sensory or motor function and established the fundamental distinction between these two types of nervous processes. When, as we have already seen, this distinction was combined with a parallel sensory-motor associationism, it led in the hands of Bain and Spencer to the first properly psychophysiological psychology and, through Jackson and Ferrier, to the establishment of the sensory-motor paradigm as the basis of functional localization in the cortex" [Wozniak p. 35].

GM-5 #4891. Bianchi's last neuropsychiatric book, in which he reported his conclusions after a lifetime of experimental neurological research with animals. Translated into English 1n 1922 as Mechanism of the Brain and the Function of the Frontal Lobes.Bianchi was Professor of Nervous and Mental Diseases at the University of Naples until his retirement in 1923. His extensive argument in this book that bilateral destruction of the frontal lobes caused character changes became the theoretical rationale for psychosurgery. it inspired the Portugese neurosurgeon Egas Moniz to perform the first psychosurgery on November 12, 1935, a prefontal leucotomy that he reported in 1936, publishing in the same year his book Tentatives opératoires dans le traitement de certaines psychoses, which reported on 20 cases. The Americans Walter Freeman, a neuropsychiatrist, and James Watts, a neurosurgeon, performed the first American prefrontal lobotomy on September 14, 1936, reporting on the case in the same year, and then publishing in 1942 the first book on psychosurgery in English, dedicated to Egas Moniz. In it they reported that their experience more or less confirmed Bianchi's findings from his animal experiments that "injury to the frontal lobes often serves merely to exaggerate the propensities of the individual, whether human or beast" [p. 151].
