Abstract:
On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of the Philadelphia Neurologic Society, 3 short talks were given that highlighted accomplishments by Philadelphia's neurologists over the past 30 years. The theme for the celebration was "Contributions to Neurology by Philadelphia Neurologists, 1980-2008." Each of the 3 speakers was chosen because of his contributions and the sequential time frames in which they occurred. Dr. Arthur K. Asbury detailed the original description of the Lewis-Sumner syndrome, Dr. Michael R. Sperling summarized the growth of epilepsy surgery in Philadelphia, and Dr. Geoffrey K. Aguirre depicted the roots of functional magnetic resonance imaging in Philadelphia.
