Abstract

We describe the Italian contribution to the description and treatment of parkinsonism following encephalitis lethargica (EL): postencephalitic parkinsonism (PEP). Special attention is devoted to the description of postencephalitic symptoms by Giuseppe Panegrossi (1871-1953) and to the treatment based on Atropa belladonna introduced in Italy and extensively supported by Arturo Nannizzi (1887-1961), who was charged by the queen of Italy with conducting research into this plant and advocating its cultivation for healing purposes. This article gives us the unique opportunity to revisit the figure of this distinguished botanist, providing a summary of his biography, interests, and achievements.

我们描述了意大利对嗜睡性脑炎(EL)后帕金森病的描述和治疗的贡献:脑后帕金森病(PEP)。特别关注Giuseppe Panegrossi(1871-1953)对脑后症状的描述，以及以颠茄为基础的治疗方法，颠茄是由意大利引入的，并得到了Arturo Nannizzi(1887-1961)的广泛支持，他受意大利女王的委托对这种植物进行研究，并提倡将其种植用于治疗目的。这篇文章为我们提供了一个独特的机会来重新审视这位杰出的植物学家的形象，提供了他的传记、兴趣和成就的摘要。

期刊介绍： The Journal of the History of the Neurosciences is the leading communication platform dealing with the historical roots of the basic and applied neurosciences. Its domains cover historical perspectives and developments, including biographical studies, disorders, institutions, documents, and instrumentation in neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, neuropsychology, and the behavioral neurosciences. The history of ideas, changes in society and medicine, and the connections with other disciplines (e.g., the arts, philosophy, psychology) are welcome. In addition to original, full-length papers, the journal welcomes informative short communications, letters to the editors, book reviews, and contributions to its NeuroWords and Neurognostics columns. All manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by an Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, full- and short-length papers are subject to peer review (double blind, if requested) by at least 2 anonymous referees.
