| This German neurophysiologist in 1837 published a book on microscope anatomy of the nervous system. He named the globus pallelus (pale moss) and the putamen (shell). He described in detail the fasciculus gracilis in 1819. He will be remembered as a neuroanatomist with his name associated as in Burdach’s fiber, fissure, nucleus, and tract. Finally, he localized vision in the posterior part of the brain. |  |
