ABSTRACT
The modern Brazilian Neurology was born in the campus of Praia Vermelha, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). The former National Hospice for the Insane (NHI) as well as some of its facilities were fundamental for the teaching about diseases of the nervous system to the students of the UFRJ's Medical School, caring for patients with neurosyphilis and epilepsy, as well as children with neurological impairment. We highlight the role of Juliano Moreira, director of the NHI (1903-1930), and his team, including Antonio Austregésilo Rodrigues Lima, the "father" of the Brazilian Neurology, in the construction of the modern Brazilian Psychiatry and Neurology.
RESUMO
Os primórdios da neurologia moderna brasileira estão ligados ao campus da Praia Vermelha da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. O ex-Hospício Nacional de Alienados (HNA), bem como algumas de suas instalações foram fundamentais para o ensino sobre doenças do sistema nervoso aos alunos da Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro; cuidado de pacientes com neurossífilis e epilepsia, e de crianças com comprometimento neurológico. Destacamos o papel de Juliano Moreira, diretor do HNA (1903-1930), e sua equipe, incluindo Antonio Austregésilo Rodrigues Lima, o "pai" da neurologia brasileira, na construção das modernas Psiquiatria e Neurologia brasileiras.
