Giovanni Battista Morgagni (1682-1771) is recognized as the father of modern anatomical pathology1. Ten years before his death, 250 years ago, he published his monumental five-volume book De Sedibus et Causis Morborum per Anatomen Indagatis (On the Seats and Causes of Disease)2, which contributed to the current experience in neuroscience. He was one of the pioneers of anatomoclinical method, based on the correlation between the clinic and anatomic lesions, that was essential for neurology development.
