Lives are improved, and even saved, by ideas that make the long journey from lab to marketplace. And, yes, the commercialization of research stimulates our economy at the local, provincial, national and international levels. We’ve collected just some of the ways McGill research has improved and is improving quality of life, from time-tested “greatest hits” to up-and-comers tipped to revolutionize tomorrow’s world—each a concrete manifestation of the University’s mission of “…providing service to society in those ways for which we are well suited by virtue of our academic strengths.” 1.

  • The Collision of Frontal Lobe Theory and Psychosurgery at the 1935 International Neurological Congress in London
    NEUROSURGICAL FOCUS Neurosurg Focus 43 (3):E4, 2017 The early argument for prefrontal leucotomy: the collision of frontal lobe theory and psychosurgery at the 1935 International Neurological Congress in London Lillian B. Boettcher, BA, and Sarah T. Menacho, MD Department of Neurosurgery, Clinical Neurosciences Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah The pathophysiology of mental illness and its relationship to the frontal lobe were subjects of immense interest in the latter half of the 19th century. Numerous studies emerged during this time on cortical localization and frontal lobe theory, drawing upon various ideas from neurology and psychiatry. Reflecting the intense interest in this region of the brain, the 1935 International Neurological Congress in London hosted a special session on the frontal lobe. Among other presentations, Yale physiologists John Fulton and Carlyle Jacobsen presented a study on frontal lobectomy in primates, and neurologist Richard Brickner presented a case of frontal ablation for olfactory meningioma performed by the Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Walter Dandy. Both occurrences are said to have influenced Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz (1874–1955) to commence performing leucotomies on patients beginning in late 1935. Here the authors review the relevant events related to frontal lobe theory leading up to the 1935 Neurological Congress as well as the extent of this meeting’s role in the genesis of the modern era of psychosurgery. https://thejns.org/doi/abs/10.3171/2017.6.FOCUS17249 KEY WORDS leucotomy; psychosurgery; frontal lobe N 1936, Egas Moniz published his first report on per- Neurological Congress in London in 1935.
