Abstract
The study briefly reviews the life and work of Alfons Maria Jakob (1884-1931), a notable representative of pre-war German neuropathology. Today Jakob is mainly remembered by neurologists for the spongiform encephalopathy with progressive dementia and spasticity that he, and Kiel neuropathologist Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt (1885-1964), described independently. However, Jakob has left additional contributions to neuroanatomy, neuropathology and neuropsychiatry in the form of original articles and valuable monographs. 2008 S. Karger AG, Basel.Entities:
