Neurological surgery was defined as a separate surgical specialty by Harvey Cushing and a few other surgeons, most of whom were trained and influenced by Cushing. One of these, Raphael Eustace Semmes, became the first neurosurgeon in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1912. After World War II, Semmes and his first associate, Francis Murphey, incorporated the Semmes-Murphey Clinic, which has been primarily responsible for the growth of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, as well as the development of select neurosurgical subspecialties in Memphis area hospitals.
神经外科学由 Harvey Cushing 和其他几位外科医生定义为一个独立的外科专业，其中大多数人都受到 Cushing 的培训和影响。其中之一的 Raphael Eustace Semmes 于 1912 年成为田纳西州孟菲斯市的第一位神经外科医生。第二次世界大战后，Semmes 和他的第一任搭档 Francis Murphey 成立了 Semmes-Murphey 诊所，该诊所主要负责田纳西大学健康科学中心孟菲斯分校神经外科系的发展，以及孟菲斯地区医院的一些神经外科学亚专业的发展。
