13 de jul. de 2022 · Michael Aminoff, a British-American neurologist, is one of the best (and certainly one of the most engaging) neurology history writers today. His brilliant biographies on Charles Edouard Brown-Séquard and Charles Bell are now followed by a major work on the British scientist Sir Victor Horsley.
His best-known innovation is the Horsley–Clarke apparatus, developed in 1908 together with Robert H. Clarke, for performing the so-called stereotactic surgery, whereby a set of precise numerical coordinates are used to locate each brain structure. He was a pioneer in neurosurgery and operated on a total of 44 patients.
A tireless scientist, he was a significant player in discovering the cure for myxedema, the eradication of rabies from England, and the invention of the Horsley-Clarke stereotactic frame. As a pathologist, Horsley performed research on bacteria and edema and founded the Journal of Pathology.
