To shed light on Professor Adolf Wallenberg and learnings from his life. 

Professor Wallenberg possessed expertise in internal medicine, neurology, and neuroanatomy. He conducted comprehensive research on both human and animal brain structures, conducted comparative studies, and provided detailed descriptions of the olfactory system and trigeminal lemniscus. He intricately outlined the clinical characteristics of lateral medullary syndrome in a case study, ultimately coining the term 'Wallenberg syndrome' in 1985. He associated the syndrome with the occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery as the underlying cause.

Professor Wallenberg, born in November 1862 in Stargard, Germany, into a Jewish family, embarked on his medical journey at the universities of Heidelberg and Leipzig. He earned his doctoral degree in 1886 and commenced his medical career at the Department of Medicine in Städtisches Krankenhaus in Danzig. He continued to do research after retirement. Unfortunately, in 1938, at the age of 76, he was forced to halt his research, his research laboratory was stripped due to the rise of the Nazi regime, primarily because of his Jewish heritage. In 1938, at the age of 76, he moved to Great Britain and later, at the age of 81, he relocated to the United States. He lived until 1949.
