The new exhibit “Compoundin g Potential – A History of the Neurosciences at Wa shU” is on display in the Drs. Helen H. a nd Robert J. Glaser History of Medicine Gallery on the 7th floor of the Bernard Becker Medical Libra ry now through June 2026.
\n \nWhat is now termed “neuroscience” has its origins in many dist inctive disciplines of medicine\, engineering\, an d science\, including the academic divisions of An atomy\, Physiology\, Pathology\, Medicine\, Surger y\, Psychiatry\, and Radiology as well as undergra duate programs in Biology\, Chemistry\, Engineerin g\, Psychology\, and Physics. Washington Universit y has been successful at integrating these differe nt disciplines because of leadership\, excellence\ , and cooperation among faculty and staff. With ov er a century of pioneering work in neuroscience\, this exhibit highlights some past and current exam ples of this exceptionally collaborative work.
\n \nSarah A. Luse\, MD\, a neuropathologist\, was among the first scientists to perform electro n microscopy of the nervous system. In 1964\, Luse was the first woman to be officially named to an administrative post in the School of Medicine when she was appointed Acting Head of the Department o f Anatomy. The new exhibit “Compounding Potential – A History of the Neurosciences at WashU” is on d isplay in the Drs. Helen H. and Robert J. Glaser H istory of Medicine Gallery on the 7th floor of the Bernard Becker Medical Library now through June 2 026.
