references: Garrison & Morton [1396.01: "The first comprehensive systematic investigation of the mammalian brain. Leuret wrote vol. 1 without Gratiolet, who later became his collaborator, publishing vol. 2 and the atlas after Leuret’s death."], Heirs of Hippocrates [1573 : " This extensive treatise on comparative neuroanatomy is a summary of what was then known on the subject. It is here that Leuret erroneously names the precentral and postcentral cerebral convolutions after Luigi Rolando (1773-1831), the well-known Italian neuroanatomist whom Leuret believed had first discovered them in 1829"].
