Se dice pesceto...
Al tipo, mas que por el corte, se lo conoce por el Haz, querido por todos los neuroespecialistas, xq es directo
Se escribe Flechsig =O (qe tipo + jodido...)
Paul Emil Flechsig (
June 29,
1847 -
July 22,
1929) was a German
neuroanatomist,
psychiatrist and
neuropathologist. Born in
Zwickau, he spent over fifty years of his medical career at the University of Leipzig. Although Flechsig contributed much in regards to his study of neurological disorders, he is mainly remembered today concerning his research regarding
myelinogenesis. Among his students were
Emil Kraepelin and
Oskar Vogt (mentor to
Korbinian Brodmann). Flechsig was the treating psychiatrist for
Daniel Paul Schreber, whose memoir inspired
Sigmund Freud to publish a detailed analysis of the case in 1911. Flechsig's work has still not been rediscovered widely but his map was reprinted and discussed in Fuster's "Cortex and Mind".
Myelinogenesis is a technique he pioneered in which he studied brains of the late term fetus and newborn by staining for
myelin. Between about two months before and after birth, most of the cerebral cortex becomes myelinated. The order in which this happens appears to reflect the evolutionary order of mammals from less to more complex. He derived a map of the cerebral cortex divided not by
histology (as
Korbinian Brodmann did) but by order of
myelination.
Flechsig divided the cortical regions into:
- an early myelinating primitive zone, which includes the motor cortex and the visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortex;
- a field bordering the primitive zone that myelinates next;
- a late-myelinating zone, which he called “association”.[1]
The last area of the human cerebral cortex to myelinate is the Dorsolateral Prefrontal cortex. (Flechsig #45, Brodmann areas 9 & 46). This region continues to develop in adolescence and adulthood it is related to
executive function and
working memory.
The "Paul-Flechsig-Institute of Brain Research" at the
University of Leipzig is an institution established in 1974 in tribute to Flechsig. The institute's scientific emphases is on cellular and molecular aspects of neurodegenerative diseases and
glial reactions in the brain and the
retina.
Flechsig's fasciculus or Flechsig's tract is a neurological structure which conveys
proprioceptive information from the body to the
cerebellum.
