The new exhibit “Compoundi ng Potential – A History of the Neurosciences at W ashU” is on display in the Drs. Helen H. and Robert J. Glaser History of Medicine Gallery o n the 7th floor of the Bernard Becker Medical Libr ary now through June 2026.
\n \nWhat is now termed “neuroscience” has its origins in many dis tinctive disciplines of medicine\, engineering\, a nd science\, including the academic divisions of A natomy\, Physiology\, Pathology\, Medicine\, Surge ry\, Psychiatry\, and Radiology as well as undergr aduate programs in Biology\, Chemistry\, Engineeri ng\, Psychology\, and Physics. Washington Universi ty has been successful at integrating these differ ent disciplines because of leadership\, excellence \, and cooperation among faculty and staff. With o ver a century of pioneering work in neuroscience\, this exhibit highlights some past and current exa mples of this exceptionally collaborative work.
\n \nSarah A. Luse\, MD\, a neuropathologist\ , was among the first scientists to perform electr on microscopy of the nervous system. In 1964\, Lus e was the first woman to be officially named to an administrative post in the School of Medicine whe n she was appointed Acting Head of the Department of Anatomy.
