Abstract
Otto Pötzl succeeded Julius Wagner-Jauregg in the chair of psychiatry and neurology at the University of Vienna. He contributed original research works to cognitive neurology and neuropsychology, and defended the interdisciplinary unity of neurology and psychiatry. Stephen L. Polyak wrote, “Few men penetrated as he [Pötzl] did into the essential pathoanatomical and pathophysiological conditions and factors responsible for the manifestations of disturbed vision in cerebral disease.”
