NEUROLOGISTS AND NEUROLOGICAL 

 LABORATORIES. 



II. Neurological Work at Zurich. 

 By Ad. Meyer, Ph.D. 



The names of F. Arnold, Henle, v. Gudden, Huguenin, 

 Forel, V. Monakow, T. Martin and Honegger prove that 

 Zurich is connected with a good amount of first class neuro- 

 logical work. It is, I think, well worth giving a short account 

 of the men working there at present and of the opportunities 

 for students in the laboratories of the different institutions. 



Zurich is a town of about 100,000 inhabitants, wonderfully 

 situated at the end of a fine lake. This relatively small town 

 has at present the following men working in anatomy of the 

 nervous system : Prof. Aug. Forel, the director of the Lunatic 

 Asylum, Burgholzli ; Privatdocent, Dr. C, v. Monakow, lec- 

 turing on neurology at the University; Paul Martin, Professor 

 of physiology at the Veterinary School ; Dr. S. S. Honneger, 

 specialist for nervous diseases; Huguenin, formerly professor 

 of internal medicine, doing little neurological work at present ; 

 the physiologist. Prof. Gaule, and his assistant. Dr. Wlassak, in 

 the physiological institution of the University. It is very inter- 

 esting that all these men work independently from each other ; 

 they form, so to say, so many schools or independent work 

 shops. 



Professor Forel holds no doubt one of the most prominent 

 positions among the anatomists of the brain. A pupil of 

 Meynert and of v. Gudden, and besides an expert entomolo- 

 gist, he unites a great number of faculties which must be con- 

 sidered as the essential condition for successful work in anatomy 

 of the brain. 



His first original contribution was made under the auspices
