Scientific Achievements

Jan Piltz has gone down in the history of medicine, and not only of Polish medicine, as an eminent researcher into papillary reflexes. Our text is predominantly dedicated to this issue. Our primary goal was to present the course of the research conducted by this Polish scientist, providing details and depicting the conditions in which he reached his solutions; ones so significant for the development of neurology and medical practice. Our paper is a review, therefore, it includes references to both Piltz’s own publications and descriptions of and references to his scientific achievements in the reports of other authors. However, before we touch upon this substantive item of our paper, we assume it would be worthwhile providing a short introduction of Jan Piltz as a scientist and one of the founding fathers of modern Polish neurology.
