Odessa School of Neuromorphology and the Foundation of the Georgian Clinical Neuroanatomy

Abstract

The article describes the creative path of two outstanding scientists from Novorossiysk University's Medical Faculty, Professors Mykola Saulovich Kakhian and Semen Nikiforovich Kipshidze, who have dedicated themselves to clinical neuromorphology since their student days and throughout their creative lives. Scientists made a significant contribution to the Departments of Anatomy and Neurology at Novorossiysk University. Following the establishment of Tbilisi University in Georgia, they relocated and led the fundamental and clinical scientific schools. The memory of these scientists is preserved at the Alma mater, specifically in the Departments of Human Anatomy, Neurology, and Neurosurgery of Odessa National Medical University (ONMedU). Exhibits and models created by themselves are stored in specialized museums, at the departments of ONMedU and Tbilisi State Medical University, as well as in medical institutions throughout Georgia, and the Museum of the History of Medicine of Georgia.
