Brodmann, Korbinian

(b. 1868, Liggersdorf, Germany, d. 1918, Munich). M.D., University of Leipzig, 1898. His recognition that the human cortex is organized anatomically in the same way as the cortex of all other mammals enabled him to map it and to classify cortical types and layers on the basis of the morphogenesis of the cortex.
