Abstract
Professor Nieuwenhuys is among the great neuroanatomists and a historical figure of the later 20th and early 21st centuries. His legacy is manifold. There is the tangible legacy of the multiple scientific volumes, at once physical and conceptual entities. There is the generational legacy of handed-on scientific and intellectual traditions, and there is the legacy of specific scientific directions. In this brief Commentary, we highlight just two examples of his scientific contributions.
