I received my first introduction to the brain sciences in 1936 and
1937, for me the second and third years of the 7-year medical
school curriculum at the University of Leiden. During those years
my interest in the subject was aroused in particular by the
brilliant lectures of the physiologist G. C. Rademaker - a
prominent former member of the Rudolf Magnus school - and the
neurohistologist S. T. Bok, noted especially for his histometric
studies of the cerebral cortex. Fascinated as I was by everything I
learned about the brain from these outstanding teachers, toward the
end of their courses I began to notice conspicuous gaps that
separated neurophysiology from neuroanatomy. In fact, I could (or
thought I could) detect a reasonable concordance between the two
sciences only in case of some sensory and somatic-motor systems.
For most other functions anatomical substrates seemed either poorly
defined or, as in the case of the central viscero-endocrine system,
hardly recognized at all. With all the arrogance of which a 20-year
old student is capable I concluded that what the brain sciences
needed was a new and more complete anatomy that emphasized in
particular the continuity of, and convergences or interconnections
between individual conduction systems. And I wistfully mused that
perhaps at some time in the future I could make such an endeavour
part of my own career.
