title: The Moscow clinic for nervous diseases - walking along the portraits.
abstract: The history of the Clinic for Nervous Diseases of the Moscow University reflects in its entirety the history of the Moscow neurological school itself. A.Ya. Kozhevnikov, the founder of the clinic, was the first professor of neurology in Russia. The clinic opened its doors in 1890 and became the first specialized medical facility in Europe devoted to the treatment of neurological disorders. Kozhevnikov brought up a number of talented followers, who later worked all over Russia, and some of them became in charge of the Clinic for Nervous Diseases. This paper looks into contributions Kozhevnikov, his pupils V.K. Rot, V.A. Muratov, G.I. Rossolimo, E.K. Sepp, and some others who were responsible for the development of the neurological science.
