The term "engram" was coined by memory researcher Richard Semon in reference to the physical substrate of memory in the organism. Semon warned, however: "In animals, during the evolutionary process, one organic system—the nervous system—has become specialised for the reception and transmission of stimuli.
This is a list of neurologists and neurosurgeons, with their year of birth and death and nationality.This list compiles the names of neurologists and neurosurgeons with a corresponding Wikipedia biographical article, and is not necessarily a reflection of their relative importance in the field.
Anatomical terms of location depend on the location and species that is being described.. To understand the terms used for anatomical localisation, consider an animal with a straight CNS, such as a fish or lizard.
