the house where the rewarded person has lodged from 1910 until his death, an expressive biography (written by Maria Gh. Marinescu, I. Floda, dr. Radovici) was written and printed, the first centenary of his birth was honourably celebrated in Romania and in the world by many academic societies, the Mondial Council of Peace has recornmended this anniversary as one of the first officialized remember of illustrious men recognized citizens of Mankind.

3. OPUS EMINENTI DOCTOR RUMANUS (1)

The scientific activity of Gheorghe Marinescu is prodigious: this multi­ lateral medicus -therapist, complex researcher (which was an expert and a medico-Iog), founder of a national school (educator, adviser and councillor), organizer, publisher, social militant, philanthropic- has given several contributions (sorne of them classicised) or perceivable "signs of presence" in almost all the domains of Science & Art & Philosophy named Medicina and mainly in Neurologia (normal/pathologic).

a.l. The anatomo-c1inical investigations has given many proofs which show the existence of sorne functional centrums localised in creerum: i.e. zones from which are given the "nervous commands": these "points" of "nervous authority" were evidenced in various circumstances of the praxis (observations; neuro-physiological experiments: ablations/exitations operated on animal s and of men). a.l.l. The discovery of the "centre of the speech": in an autopsy operated on the brain of an afazic man has showed a lesion placed on the level of the third frontal circumvolution of the left herni-sphere of the brain. a.l.2. The discovery of the centre of sight: in the parietal zone. a.1.3. The discovery of cortical representation of the heart: in the temporal cortex. a.l.4. The discovery of the localization of many zones which command the motions of various segments of the body: the use of the method of electrical excitations has pennitted the very fructuous (point with point) exploration of such zones identified on the superficial part of the brain of the dog which compose the motor cortex.

A.2.l. The Doctrina neuronal-ism

a. The first enunciation of neuronal theory: the human nervous system is composed by basic (morphological, physiological) structures named the neurons, bio-units morphologically delirnited and physiologically articled.

b. The inter-neuronal configurations in the neuronal vivid ensemble was a problem which has generated a major controversy. b.l. The reticularists: the bio-units are ensembled by linkers/anatomosis forrning a continuous net.

The experimented reflex: the marrow of the back bone have the capacity to generate reflexes; these spinal reflexes express the persistence, at the level of the marrow, of a quantity of "vital principIes" originated from the brain; the conscience is not connected exc1usively with the brain but it is present also in the marrow of back bone even when this vital structure/organ is separated from the brain' b.3.

In their opus magnus they have clearly synthesized the knowledgement (ideas, facts, methods and procedures; problernatic aspects, sorne visions) accumulated by scientists until their up to dated moment -rnarker in the "flow of ideas" - considerable enriched with nurnerous new data fruits of their personal researches. These opus-es are in many sides, still valid a posteriori: after five decenies, even nowadays; and by this quality are a fundamental test of the modern neurology, and two examples of scientia perenis.
