In his work entitled "Osservazioni sul nervo ottico" (Observations on the Optic Nerve) published in 1855, Bartolomeo Panizza macroscopically traced the visual projection from the optic nerve to the cerebral structures, establishing the posterior cortex as the center for vision. This achievement was largely ignored by Panizza's contemporaries, and many years passed before his research was accorded the credit it deserved. This article provides both a profile of this eminent anatomo-physiologist and a historical reconstruction of the troubled course of his pioneering observations on the central pathway of the optic nerve.
在1855年发表的题为《关于视神经的观察》的著作中，巴托洛梅奥·帕尼扎从宏观上追踪了从视神经到大脑结构的视觉投射，确立了后皮质为视觉中枢。帕尼扎的同时代人很大程度上忽略了这一成就，多年后他的研究才得到应有的认可。本文既介绍了这位杰出的解剖生理学家，也对他在视神经中枢通路开创性观察的曲折历程进行了历史重构。
