Clinical neurology and neurosurgery
-
The Netherlands Society of Neurology evolved from the Society of Psychiatry founded in 1871. The name was changed into Netherlands Society of Psychiatry and Neurology (NSPN) in 1897. In the same year, the word neurology was also added to the name of the journal. ⋯ Following an initiative of Brouwer, the first neurological university clinic opened its doors in Amsterdam in 1929. In the 20th century, a number specialised peripheral neurological clinics and epilepsy institutes were founded. In 1909, the the Central Institute for Brain Research was established in Amsterdam.
