Specific Area of Research:
The problem of interdisciplinarity in the neuromorphological sciences between 1910 and 1945, with a special regard to émigrés German-speaking neurologists in North-America. The results shall give further hints as to how important interdisciplinary work is perceived in the neurosciences and their general research organisation. As such, the project is of multiple importance to the historiographical, epistemological, as well as the methodological aspects of the science studies. These investigations display themselves as a particular endeavour into a central yet, hitherto, neglected field within biomedical research and the neurosciences.
