A Builder of the Modern Neurosciences

Benjamin V. White

---

Much more than the personal story of an important neuroanatomist, neurohistologist, neuropathologist, neurologist, psychiatrist and teacher at the Harvard Medical School, this biography is in reality a history of academic neurology and hospital psychiatry in Boston in the present century and to some extent in America as well.
