Abstract
The following study aims to publicise the neurological research work of Jordi Cervós Navarro through some of his conferences, speeches and talks.When Jordi Cervós Navarro - born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1930 - finished his degree in medicine, (1952) he travelled to Austria and Germany to work as a doctor in neurology clinics. Since 1954 he has been an associate lecturer and since 1961, a lecturer in neuropathology at the Free University of Berlin (Germany). From 1968 until 1998 he was a professor of neuropathology at this same university. Cervós, when embarking on his career in Austria, devoted himself to psychiatry, but over time he edged towards neuropathology. As a neurologist, his studies focused on the Metabolic and Degenerative Diseases of the Central Nervous System, of the Cerebellum, Brain Stem, and Spinal Cord (Spinocerebellar Degenerations), disorders of Lipid, Pigment, Protein or Mineral Metabolism or blood-Spinal Cord and Brain Barriers in Health and Disease for example. Cervós has had a prolific career of research and exhibition of his works that has taken him around the world for almost 50 years.
