Resumen

El profesor Raymond D. Adams (1911-2010) fue una de las figuras más prominentes de la neu-rología norteamericana en el siglo XX. Realizó sus estudios de medicina en la Universidad de Duke. Posteriormente, inició especialización en psiquiatría, pero optó por dedicarse al estudio de la patología del sistema nervioso y a la neurología en el Hospital de Boston durante 10 años. Luego fue contratado por el Hospital General de Massachusetts, donde dirigió del Departamento de Neurología por más de 25 años. Fue profesor emérito de neuropatología de la Universidad de Harvard y obtuvo distinciones de otras universidades y sociedades científicas en los Estados Unidos y en otros países. Contribuyó de manera decisiva a la consolidación de la neurología en Nortea-mérica creando una escuela de fama mundial. Describió varios síndromes, aportó al desarrollo de otras ramas de la neurociencia, publicó múltiples artículos científicos y, desde 1977, junto con el Dr. Maurice Victor, el libro Principios de neurología, que se ha convertido en un clásico en la materia, traducido a varios idiomas. Dirigió un Departamento en donde se ha formado un muy destacado grupo de neurólogos de varias nacionalidades que dan brillo a la neurología mundial.
