We address inconsistencies in two areas concerning who was first to electrically stimulate a human's brain. First, Boring (1950) and others attributed priority to Eduard Hitzig based on information mentioned somewhat incidentally in Fritsch and Hitzig's (1870) classic work using dogs. Others cited Fritsch and Hitzig but attributed priority to Roberts Bartholow (1874). Second, our examination of translations of Fritsch and Hitzig, especially of footnote 16 in Hitzig's report (1870) of a human case, revealed errors, omissions, and inconsistencies. To aid our inquiry, we requested and received new translations of footnote 16 and of Hitzig's report.
我们探讨了在谁最先对人类大脑进行电刺激这两个方面存在的不一致之处。首先，博林（1950年）等人基于弗里奇和希齐格（1870年）使用狗的经典研究中偶然提及的信息，将优先权归于爱德华·希齐格。其他人引用了弗里奇和希齐格的研究，但将优先权归于罗伯茨·巴托洛（1874年）。其次，我们对弗里奇和希齐格著作的翻译进行了审查，特别是对希齐格（1870年）关于一个人类病例报告中的脚注16进行审查时，发现了错误、遗漏和不一致之处。为了帮助我们进行调查，我们请求并获得了脚注16和希齐格报告的新译文。
