The book comprises biographical notes, of about 1000 words each,
with a portrait photo, of 90 influential figures of the famous
prewar Viennese school of neuropsychiatry, appearing together for
the first time in a single volume. The entries focus on the
academic lives and scientific contributions of pioneers in the
neurological sciences viewed from a modern perspective. These
updated profiles are based on substantial new research. The book
includes a wide range of people, some famous Nobel laureates, and
others less well known, from the era when Vienna was the epicenter
of brain research. Despite the tragic circumstances of two World
Wars, these pioneers remained resilient, willing to help others
with an admirable dignity against adversity that leaves an
indelible lesson to the later generations. Some fell victim of the
Holocaust. Others overcame the constraints of National Socialism
and ultimately settled overseas to nurture their ambitions and
pursue their intellectual goals as physicians, researchers, and
teachers. The monograph is a useful source for scholars interested
in the evolution of ideas in basic neuroscience, clinical
neurology, and neuropsychiatry, and the investigators who effected
them.
