Based on original research, this monograph is the first to portray
the fascinating life of Bernhard Pollack (1865-1928), a pioneer
neurohistologist, ophthalmologist, and world-class pianist. In
doing so, it revives important scientists and musicians of
fin-du-siecle Berlin. Pollack wrote the first standard reference on
the staining methods for the nervous system (1897). Born into a
Prussian-Jewish family, he received his piano education from Moritz
Moszkowski and his pathology education from Carl Weigert. Pollack
worked at the Institutes of W. Waldeyer (anatomy), E. Mendel
(neuropsychiatry), Nobel laureate R. Koch (infectious diseases),
and the Eye Clinic of P. Silex, before becoming Professor of
Ophthalmology at Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat in 1919. English
translations of two articles by Pollack, on musical memory and on
Moszkowski, are included. The book also chronicles the founding by
Pollack of the Berliner Arzte-Orchester, who in 2011 celebrate
their centennial.
