This study tests terminological continuity within the seven editions of Hermann Oppenheim's influential Lehrbuch der Nervenkrankheiten (1894-1923). Repository optical character recognition (OCR; ABBYY FineReader) across all 11 physical volumes was searched for Polyneuropath- forms. Seven predefined 49-page windows were separately subjected to repeat OCR as a technical cross-check; the etiological sections and selected passages were checked against facsimiles. Serial comparison of the chapter heading, etiological framing, and pathological description was performed, and the etiological causes named in each edition were coded inductively. No target form was identified in any edition, whereas positive controls were consistently recovered. The chapter heading, core etiological statement, and principal pathological formulation remained stable across all seven editions. The source matrix shows that the catalog of named etiological entries expanded from 31 to 54, while the clinicopathological framework persisted unchanged. A direct title-level contrast appears in English by 1938. Polyneuritis remained a durable clinicopathological umbrella whose etiological range could grow without lexical replacement. The findings support non-adoption of Polyneuropathie within this textbook tradition through 1923 and document terminological inertia as a form of epistemic conservatism.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149129167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A source-audited catalogue distinguishes two opposite outcomes: cold abandonment under weak enforcement, and prolonged retention and reworking-above all, in the Mona Lisa and the Virgin and Child with St Anne-alongside independent evidence of continuing technical or perceptual problems. The model predicts that active enforcement can support substantial delivery, weak obligation alone often cannot, and unresolved intrinsic problems can produce retention rather than release. A preliminary Michelangelo comparison tests whether the component outcomes are uniquely Leonardian and shows why terminal retention alone cannot carry the explanation. The claim concerns the organization of documented behavior rather than a retrospective clinical diagnosis. The resulting two-mode framework organizes otherwise contradictory evidence-cold abandonment alongside extraordinary sustained absorption-and defines a direct next test through blinded recoding and a larger comparison corpus.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149117627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research evaluates the technical accuracy and alignment of the work with modern standards, reflecting the institution's vision to synchronize medical education with universal scientific norms. A total of 75 unique neurocranial terms were compared with modern Terminologia Anatomica (TA2) standards based on five methodological parameters (P1-P5). Findings reveal a high degree of precise semantic correspondence (P1) of 85.3% (n = 64) between Stambolski's terminology and TA2. Key observations include the use of sophisticated technical terms such as Mîzâbe-i Kehfiyye (Carotid sulcus) and instances of pedagogical simplification, such as Kavs-ı Hâcibî, which encompasses both the Arcus superciliaris and Margo supraorbitalis. Additionally, historical localization shifts in terms such as Eminentia orbitalis (İrtifâ'-ı Hacâcî) were identified. Stambolski's work represents a successful transmission of 19th-century French neuroanatomical tradition into Ottoman medical literature. This high terminological fidelity, integrated with a corporate strategy to unify medical language, positions Miftah-ı Teşrih as a critical bridge between historical anatomical tradition and modern neuroscience terminology.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"367-377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148165319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we analyze documents relating to Cajal's Legacy that belong to her father, her brother Santiago Ramón y Cajal Junquera, or her. The Cajal Legacy was given by the family to Francisco Tello, in accordance with the will of 1931. However, as they clarified, \"in deposit, not donated,\" giving way to endless claims.

A Royal Decree in 2024 promises to create the Cajal Museum in Madrid. The impressive Cajal classroom, where he taught for 30 years in the historic building of the old Faculty of Medicine, seems a suitable location.

Using PubMed/MEDLINE and major digitized archives, a structured historical review was conducted with searches in English, French, and German, combining terms related to syphilis and neurologic signs. Ten eponymous signs were identified between 1846 and 1905: Romberg, Remak, Westphal, Seeligmüller, Biernacki, Patrick, Sárbó, Bechterew (Bekhterev), Pitres, and Abadie. These signs point to a characteristic pattern of sensory impairment-patchy loss of pain perception with absent deep-tendon reflexes-reflecting involvement of the dorsal roots, posterior columns, and peripheral sensory fibers. Although now uncommon, findings such as Westphal's absent patellar reflex or Abadie's Achilles hypoalgesia may still appear in advanced, untreated neurosyphilis. They once guided clinicians in recognizing tabes dorsalis before Treponema pallidum was identified, and they remain useful when access to laboratory testing is limited or when patients present late with established deficits. In an era of rising syphilis rates, awareness of these classical signs can encourage timely serologic and, when appropriate, cerebrospinal fluid evaluation.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"378-398"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147965278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet several neurophysiologists before and during the early cybernetic period had already developed sophisticated physiological models of conscious states grounded in bodily regulation, autonomic integration, hypothalamic function and global neural activation. Among these figures, Ernest Gellhorn (1935-2005) occupies a remarkable place. In Physiological Foundations of Neurology and Psychiatry (1953), Gellhorn proposed an integrative neurophysiological theory linking consciousness, arousal, emotion, endocrine regulation, autonomic balance, sleep, and bodily homeostasis. This article argues that Gellhorn prefigured several dimensions of contemporary consciousness research, especially embodied, affective, and homeostatic approaches. It also situates him within the broader neurophysiological framework represented at the 1953 Laurentian Symposium, where Giuseppe Moruzzi (1910-1986), Horace Winchell Magoun (1907-1991), and Denise-Albe Fessard (1916-2003) emphasized reticular activation and large-scale nervous integration. The comparison has clear limits: Gellhorn did not anticipate the anatomically defined functional networks revealed by modern neuroimaging, the information-broadcast architecture of global neuronal workspace theory, or the philosophical \"hard problem\" of why physiological processes are accompanied by subjective experience. Rather than claiming direct historical continuity, the study identifies structural conceptual convergences between mid-twentieth-century neurophysiology and selected current theories of consciousness.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149076497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Trade catalogs were an important source of information on medical instruments for practitioners and remain an important source of information on these instruments for historians; however, because these were intended to be ephemera, their preservation has been haphazard and largely accidental. Unlike the restrictions on advertising for nineteenth-century physicians, medical trade catalogs were under no ethical constraints about advertising. Consequently, trade catalogs often listed the names of physician inventors for different instruments, occasionally reprinted original citations concerning the instruments or even portions of the original publications that described the instruments (i.e. either a medical journal article or a medical textbook), and occasionally printed testimonials from physicians who had invented or perfected medical instruments.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149026652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Except for neurosurgical instruments, which date from antiquity, and the ophthalmoscope (invented in 1851), most neurological instruments were developed after 1860. Although physicians were reluctant to consider themselves as technicians, by the late-nineteenth century, physicians no longer practiced without special facilities and apparatus. Neurologic specialization, with its greater pecuniary rewards and social prestige, depended heavily on technological developments. Indeed, early neurologic specialists found it necessary to develop and adopt a wide variety of diagnostic technologies to facilitate or quantitate the neurologic examination, which helped not only to diagnose disease states but to justify their larger fees. Many late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century neurologists collaborated with instrument makers to create or improve diagnostic and therapeutic neurological instruments as instrument makers transitioned from artisanal hand-crafting to mass production. Despite the benefits of the new instruments, many clinicians grew irritated by the time and effort required to use these neurological instruments and document the results of their use.","PeriodicalId":49997,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the History of the Neurosciences","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149013298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
