マースデン—生理学的基礎知識に基づいた優れた臨床神経学者

Charles David Marsden; April 15, 1938-September 29, 1998

英国留学でお世話になったマースデン教授について，自分の経験を交えて紹介した。一言で言うと，新しいことを発見する目を持った優れた臨床神経内科医であり，臨床のアイデアを研究に結実する能力に長けていた。さらに魅力的な人で，カリスマ性があり，人をまとめて大きく世界を動かすこともできる政治的な手腕も有していた。彼と出会えたことは，私にとって幸運であったと思っている。

Abstract

I would like to talk about my memories of Professor Marsden, under whom I studied clinical neurophysiology for 2.5 years in London. He was an excellent clinical neurologist, who was always chasing something new; Professor Marsden was extraordinarily good at developing new research ideas. He also had a remarkable ability to bring doctors together, and inspire them with his leadership as they worked on joint projects. It was a great honor to have worked under Professor Marsden. It has also been a pleasure to work with Professor Rothwell.
