Albert Wojciech Adamkiewicz (1850-1821) was a Polish neurologist and researcher who is best known for his description of the so-called Adamkiewicz-artery. In contrast to his achievements in neurology, his research in psychiatry from his time in Vienna (1891-1921) is commonly overlooked. We examined all titles of his publications from 1891 to 1921 and provided a close reading of those works that were related to his research on the neural basis of mental phenomena and disorders. We demonstrate that, in later stages of his scientific career, Adamkiewicz critically engaged with contemporary positions in psychiatry and the psychogenic explanation of mental disorders. He developed a theory based on his neurological research, correlating central theorems of late-nineteenth-century psychiatry to neural networks in the human cortex. These achievements make him a historical forerunner of neuropsychiatric concepts of mental phenomena and disorders.
阿尔伯特·沃伊切赫·阿达姆凯维奇(1850-1821 年)是一位波兰神经病学家和研究员,他因描述所谓的阿达姆凯维奇动脉而闻名。与他在神经病学方面的成就相比,他在维也纳(1891-1921 年)的精神病学研究通常被忽视。我们查阅了他 1891 年至 1921 年期间发表的所有标题,并对与他研究精神现象和障碍的神经基础有关的著作进行了仔细阅读。我们证明,在他科学生涯的后期,阿达姆凯维奇批判性地参与了当时精神病学的立场和对精神障碍的心理起源解释。他根据自己的神经病学研究提出了一个理论,将 19 世纪后期精神病学的核心定理与人类大脑皮层的神经网络联系起来。这些成就使他成为精神现象和障碍的神经精神病学概念的历史先驱。
