Synthesis: The Origins of British Neurology, 1866–1876
摘要
This final chapter attempts to synthesize the material presented in the foregoing chapters to ascertain to what extent the various individuals and activities associated with the West Riding Asylum at Wakefield during the period 1866–1876 contributed to the origins of British neurology. In particular, it examines the validity of E.D. Adrian’s (1939) assertion that this was “the period when neurology became a science”.
