About

My website: www.neurohistory.nl I was a general neurologist in Zuyderland Medical Centre, Heerlen, The Netherlands with special interest in neuro-oncology and headache, both subjects in which research resulted in a number of papers (see PubMed). Furthermore I am interested in the history of neurology / neurosciences. I am editor-in-chief of the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, past-chair of the History Section of the American Academy of Neurology and History Section Editor of Cephalalgia, published books among others on Neurological Eponyms, Seventy-five Years of Neurology in Heerlen and on Brown-Séquard, as well as papers on the history of neurology, in particular on the history of headache/migraine.
