[4] Vogt-Mugnier and her husband's findings on myelinogenesis led to her dissertation work on the fiber systems in the cat cerebral cortex (Étude sur la myelination of hémishères cérébraux) and the beginning of their research in architectonics.

[4] Vogt-Mugnier and her husband's main interest was the identification and characterization of distinct regions in the neocortex by both functional and structural criteria.

Together they pursued advanced neuropathological research, publishing their findings on both cyto- and myelo-architecture in the central nervous system and on the functional anatomy of the basal ganglia.

[8] In 1911, Vogt-Mugnier rediscovered the so-called 'status marmoratus' of the corpus striatum, characterized by slow, writhing, purposeless movements mainly affecting the hands and face.

[9] This syndrome had already been described by Gabriel Anton in 1896, however his paper attracted little attention whereas Vogt-Mugnier's report brought it to the forefront of research in basal ganglia pathology.

[5] Vogt-Mugnier continued to lead the pioneering work on the neuroanatomy of the thalamus and together with Hermann Oppenheim published their findings on hereditary palsy and double athetosis, in which she noted the mottled appearance of the striatum.

[11] After 1933 the Vogts collided with the Nazi regime over their Russian contacts and their fierce defense of their scientific independence and their collaborators, forcing Oskar to retire from their brain research institute in Berlin.

A wealthy and devoutly religious aunt paid for her education at a convent school, but Cécile rebelled against the system shortly after her first communion.

[18] While at Bicêtre Vogt-Mugnier met her future husband, Oskar Vogt, when he came to Paris to work with Joseph Jules Déjérine (and his wife, Augusta Marie Dejerine-Klumke, who collaborated with him).

The neurologist Igor Klatzo, who worked with Vogt at the brain research institute in Schwarzwald (from 1946 to 1949), described her as a liberal woman with humanistic ideals: I must admit that Cécile influenced me and my development.

The neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield met the couple in 1928 and recalled Vogt-Mugnier: Oskar Vogt's wife listens while she looks at something remote with her widely separated eyes and laughs.

[7]Her intelligence often surprised people and left those who encountered her with a lasting impression: It was not easy to get close, on a human level, to Dr Cécile Vogt's highly intellectual nature.

Her profound understanding of human beings was paired with a probing analysis, which many a visitor or staff member found it difficult to withstand.

[4]Later in their career, the Vogts turned their focus to genetics, experimenting with insects that they had collected on their holiday trips to the Caucasus, the Balkans, North Africa, and the Balearic Islands.

[7] They continued their work until Oskar died in 1959, and after the death of her husband Vogt-Mugnier moved to Cambridge, England to be with their elder daughter Marthe.
