  • Title: Camillo Golgi: a clinical pathologist.
    Author: Macchi G.
    Journal: J Hist Neurosci; 1999 Aug; 8(2):141-50. PubMed ID: 11624295.
    Abstract:
    Camillo Golgi opened new avenues in histology and neurobiology as well as in clinical neurology and internal medicine. This is demonstrated by investigations Golgi performed during 1861-1876 on the etiology and pathology of mental diseases, on the neuropathology of Huntington's chorea (Golgi provided the first detailed description at the microscopic level of pathological changes in the basal ganglia and cerebral cortex of one case of chorea), on meningiomas and cerebral gliomas. In the period following these investigations, Golgi focused especially on infectious diseases. He pursued fundamental studies on malaria (which remain among the most important and original of his contributions) on rabies, as well as on smallpox and influenza. Thus, Camillo Golgi should be remembered for his discoveries of the black reaction and the Golgi apparatus, as well as for the modern impulse he was able to give to clinical neurology and internal medicine.
