This paper shows the relative influence of Ferrier and Hitzig on American and British interest in cerebral physiology in the early 1870s. Although Hitzig published three years before Ferrier, Ferrier was more influential. Evidence comes from multiple sources: numerical trends in citations to Fritsch and Hitzig in British and American publications showed an increase after Ferrier's work. Hitzig's work was primarily discussed in the context of Ferrier's work. Ferrier's work was more impressive than Hitzig's work to American and British contemporaries. Ferrier's work was applicable to medical issues. The secular press failed to popularize Hitzig's work. Was national pride evident?
本文展示了19世纪70年代初费里尔和希齐格对英美两国脑生理学研究兴趣的相对影响。尽管希齐格比费里尔早三年发表成果，但费里尔更具影响力。证据来自多个方面：英美出版物中对弗里奇和希齐格的引用数量趋势表明，在费里尔的研究成果发表后有所增加。希齐格的研究主要是在费里尔研究的背景下被讨论。对于英美两国的同时代人来说，费里尔的研究比希齐格的研究更令人印象深刻。费里尔的研究适用于医学问题。通俗报刊未能使希齐格的研究得到普及。民族自豪感是否显而易见呢？
