references: Heirs of Hippocrates [852: "Charles Nicolas Le Cat "Among Le Cat's many works were these essays on the physiology of nerves, the first of which earned him a prize from the Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin in 1753. The second essay discussed the sensibility of the meninges, the insensibility of the brain, the structure of the nerves, and a criticism of Haller's doctrine of irritability. The six folding copperplates depict a male and female "ourang-outang," infantile spina bifida, and aspects of the muscle and nerve structure."].
