Oskar Vogt

Oskar Vogt (6 April 1870, in Husum – 30 July 1959, in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German physician and neurologist.

Friedrich Alfred Krupp financially supported them, and in 1898, Oskar and Cécile founded a private research institute called the Neurologische Zentralstation (Neurological Center) in Berlin, which was formally associated with the Physiological Institute of the Charité as the Neurobiological Laboratory of the Berlin University in 1902.

They met in Paris in 1897[1] while he was there working with Joseph Jules Dejerine and his wife, Augusta Marie Dejerine-Klumke, who collaborated with him.

Because of their similar scholarly interests, the Vogts collaborated for a long period, usually with Cécile as the primary author.

[1][7] Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach helped fund a small hospital in Schwarzwald near Neustadt when Vogt was dismissed in 1936 from his position with the Kaiser Wilhelm Brain Research Institute.

[1] Vogt was the editor of the prominent Journal für Psychologie und Neurologie published in German, French and English which made many of the most important contributions between the two World Wars.

[7][9][10] He found that Lenin's brain showed a great number of "giant cells", which Vogt saw as a sign of superior mental function.

[13] Therefore, contrary to claims of two Belgian neurologists, L. Van Bogaert and A. Dewulf, the Soviets did not have to carry out a military operation specifically to retrieve the brain before the Americans obtained it.

It is not known whether the master[clarification needed] accepted the excessive partition and unnecessary complication of this work; it was an atlas dedicated to stereotacticans.
