Johannes Müller was indisputably the most versatile and brilliant physiologist in the mid-nineteenth century. Müller was born in Koblenz in 1801 as the eldest of five children.

Another congress of the World Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (WSRM) this past year in Bologna was magnificent not just for the presentation of so many keynote lectures by the giants of our field nor the novel and innovative ideas shown by those who will someday follow in those footsteps, but by making all of us realize how many capable microsurgeons there are now practically everywhere in this world, doing incredibly important surgical management of challenges that previously were unmet and resulted in sheer devastation for so many of our patients. How much we are the same in our goals, aspirations, and abilities could not be overlooked, but it is amazing how much we also want to learn more together-each relying on the other. To do so, we must not forget our origins as we appropriately plan for the future.

In the copious secondary literature on Büchner, it has often been discussed whether and how his poetic and scientific writings were interrelated.

The giants of medicine and anatomy have each left their mark on the history of the cranial nerves, and much of the history of anatomic study can be viewed through the lens of how the cranial nerves were identified and named. A comprehensive literature review on the classification of the cranial names was performed. The identification of the cranial nerves began with Galen in the 2nd century AD and evolved up through the mid-20th century.
