Gheorghe Marinescu and the Romanian Academy (March 10, 1906)

Summary/Abstract: The Romanian-born Georges Marinesco (1863–1938) became a neurologist under Charcot‘s guidance at the Salpetriere Hospital, in Paris. Marinesco made discoveries in neuropathol¬ogy which he described from a histopathologic perspective, and introduced new medical terms such as neuronophagia, chromatolysis, and medullomyoblastoma. He also drew corre¬lations between clinical neurologic findings and morphology, for example in congenital cerebellar ataxia, syringomyelia, and parkinsonism. From 1899 he used cinematography as a medical research tool. Marinesco was a prolific researcher in the field of neuropathology, especially neurodegeneration but also in clini¬cal neurology. He is now considered the founder of the modern Romanian school of neurology. The year 2013 marks 150 years since the birth of Georges Marinesco and 75 years since his death.
