Why Is Rezső Bálint Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Rezső Bálint was a Jewish-Hungarian neurologist and psychiatrist. He discovered Bálint's syndrome. He was born into a German-Jewish family that had settled in Budapest. Rezso Balint’s first writings, published while he was still a medical student, were case studies examining muscular atrophy in hemiplegia. He went on to study tabes dorsalis and the treatment of epilepsy. In 1907, Dr. Balint recorded his observations of a patient who suffered from a unique constellation of neurologic symptoms including fixation of gaze, neglect of objects in his periphery, and misreaching for target objects. The patient was noted to first experience these symptoms following damage to the posterior parietal lobes. This “triple-syndrome complex” was later named “Balint’s Syndrome.”
