David Ferrier was born. A pioneering neurologist who studied psychology under Wilhelm Wundt at the University of Heidelberg, Ferrier is renowned for his groundbreaking work on cerebral localisation, particularly the location of numerous sensory and motor functions in the brain; which was considered at the time a major advance in the physiology of the nervous system.

David Ferrier is also famous for co-founding the journal 'Brain' in 1878, which to this day continues to publish leading studies in neurological science.
