Abstract

The article profiles Dr. Harry M. Zimmerman, a neuropathologist. He was born in Vilnius, Lithuania to a stonemason and was brought to the U.S. in 1909. He graduated from Yale University Medical School in 1092 and initially trained under Dr. Milton Winternitz, a professor of pathology. Ultrastructure of cerebral vessels, pathology of cryptococcosis and myelin pathology in the brain based on 70 autopsies are some of seminal studies conducted by Zimmerman.
