چکیده
In the early 19th century Flourens had already proved by experiment that by stimulating the semi-circular canals of the inner ear certain rhythmical eye movements (called nystagmus) could be caused and Purkinje showed that in human beings vertigo was induced by rotation. Ménière was the first to prove that diseases of the inner ear can produce giddiness. Later, a number of physiologists, especially Breuer and Ewald, studied the physiology of the inner ear and increased our knowledge of it in a high degree. Otologists also made daily observations in this field without, however, appreciating their significance and adapting them to the service of otology.

Obviously, the Nobel P...
متن کاملEpidemiology and the elusive Nobel Prize.
Many epidemiologists have been concerned and frustrated that our scholarly activities have never been honored by a Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine. Why has this not happened, and why may it be unlikely ever to happen?
