Neurology pioneers in Japan
Pioneiros da neurologia no Japão
Abstract
The pioneers of neurology in Japan were professors Hiroshi Kawahara and Kinnosuke Miura. Kawahara published the first description of progressive bulbar palsy and wrote the first neurology textbook in Japan. Miura, on the other hand, published studies about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in addition to participating in the founding of the Japanese Society of Neurology. The influence of European neurology, particularly French and German, in the figures of Professor Jean-Martin Charcot and Professor Erwin Bälz, was fundamental in the consolidation of neurology in Japan.
Resumo
Os pioneiros da Neurologia no Japão foram os professores Hiroshi Kawahara e Kinnosuke Miura. Kawahara publicou a primeira descrição de paralisia bulbar progressiva e escreveu o primeiro livro-texto de Neurologia no Japão. Já Miura publicou estudos sobre esclerose lateral amiotrófica, além de participar da fundação da Sociedade Japonesa de Neurologia. A influência da Neurologia europeia, particularmente francesa e alemã, nas figuras dos Professores Jean-Martin Charcot e Erwin Bälz foi fundamental na consolidação da Neurologia no Japão.
