Bernhard von Gudden (1824-1886). 1885 engraving of the German microanatomist and psychiatrist Johann Bernhard Aloys von Gudden. Gudden made many contributions in the field of neuroanatomy, especially in his work of mapping and describing the paths, connections, origins/termini and neuroanatomical centres of cranial and optic nerve networks. The commissural fibres of the optic tract are called the commissure of Gudden in his honour, and he developed a specialised microtome for sectioning the brain for pathological study. He advocated a no-restraint policy, humane treatment of the mentally ill, communal social interaction amongst patients, and a well-trained medical staff

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print showcases Bernhard von Gudden, a prominent German anatomist and psychiatrist from the 19th century. In this engraving, we see a portrait of Johann Bernhard Aloys von Gudden, who made significant contributions to the field of neuroanatomy. Known for his meticulous work in mapping and describing cranial and optic nerve networks, Gudden's expertise earned him great recognition. Gudden's dedication to understanding the intricate pathways, connections, origins/termini, and neuroanatomical centers of these nerves led to several notable discoveries. The commissural fibers of the optic tract were even named after him as "the commissure of Gudden". Additionally, he developed a specialized microtome that allowed for precise sectioning of the brain during pathological studies. Beyond his scientific achievements, Gudden advocated for humane treatment towards mentally ill patients. He believed in implementing a no-restraint policy along with communal social interaction among patients. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of having a well-trained medical staff to provide optimal care. This historical illustration captures an important figure in both psychology and medicine. It serves as a reminder of Gudden's pioneering efforts in advancing our understanding of neurology and psychiatry during his time.
