| Popis: | FRANCIS F. SCHWENTKER was born in Schenectady, New York, on February 13, 1904. He graduated from Union College in 1925, and in that year entered the Johns Hopkins Medical School. Schwentker was an outstanding student from the onset of his medical career. During the course of his first year study of anatomy, he discovered a small group of cells embedded in the hypoglossal nucleus of the specimen which he was dissecting. He showed that these cells are of definite structure and are constantly present in the human brain and that they are probably a source of autonomic fibers to the tongue. |
