‎QUATRIEME EDITION REVUE et AUGMENTEE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "INFLUENTIAL TEXTBOOK ON NEUROLOGICAL TEACHING AND RESEARCH" (Haymaker ---- "Classical and standard work in neurologi" (MacHenry) ---- "After studying in Berlin and Frankfurt-am-Main, A. Van Gehuchten returned, at the age of twenty-six, to the catholic university of Louvain to take charge of descriptive anatomy. In 1890 appeared his first paper, which dealt with the olfactory mucosa of mammals as revealed by the Golgi method. This was the beginning of years of research on the olfactory bulb, optic lobes, cerebellum, spinal cord, innervation of the hair follicles, etc... Van Gehuchten's work on the structure of nerve cells and his promulgation of the theory of dynamic polarization in 1891 helped to establish the neuron doctrine. In 1900 he began the publication of his journal, Le Névraxe, in which many of his papers appeared. His early work had laid the foundations for his first textbook, Anatomie du système nerveux de l'homme which went to several editions. The textbook had a lasting influence on neurological teaching and research in other countries...". (Haymaker pp. 120/123)‎
