Korbinian Brodmann is best remembered for his classification of cortical areas based on cytoarchitecture. He was influenced by such greats as Alzheimer, Vogt, Edinger, Nissl, and Weigert. Although first presented in 1903, Brodmann's "mapping" continues to be the lingua franca of cortical localization and his writings on this topic have become neurological classics. Many of his areas have gone on to be associated with various nervous functions such as hearing (areas 41 and 42) and vision (areas 17 and 18). Few textbooks of neurology, neuroanatomy, or neurosurgery fail to mention the important maps produced by Brodmann that are still used today. The present article discusses the life and influence of Korbinian Brodmann on our understanding of the human brain.
科宾亚恩·布罗德曼(Korbinian Brodmann)因其基于细胞构筑的皮质区分类而被铭记。他受到阿尔茨海默、沃格特、埃丁格、尼塞尔和魏格特等大师的影响。尽管布罗德曼的“图谱”于 1903 年首次提出,但它仍然是皮质定位的通用语言,他关于这个主题的著作已成为神经学经典。他的许多区域都与各种神经功能相关联,如听觉(区域 41 和 42)和视觉(区域 17 和 18)。很少有神经病学、神经解剖学或神经外科学教科书不提及布罗德曼制作的重要图谱,这些图谱至今仍在使用。本文讨论了科宾亚恩·布罗德曼的生平及其对我们理解人类大脑的影响。
