History of the prefrontal lobotomy, psychosurgery, and Rosemary Kennedy explained by a neurosurgeon

Let’s talk about the history of the prefrontal lobotomy, psychosurgery, and Rosemary Kennedy. Frontal lobotomy, the sectioning of the prefrontal cortex, and leucotomy, the severing of the underlying white matter, for the treatment of mental disorders, reached a peak of popularity after World War II. But development of this surgery began in the 1930s with the work of the celebrated Egas Moniz, who also made his mark in neuroradiology as the father of cerebral angiography. Moniz and Lima performed their first frontal leucotomy in 1935. The following year Dr. Moniz presented a series of 20 patients, and by 1949 he had received the Nobel Prize for his pioneering work on frontal leucotomy in which, specifically, the white matter connections between the prefrontal cortex and the thalamus were sectioned to alleviate severe mental illness, including depression and schizophrenia in long-term hospitalized patients. #neurosurgery #lobotomy #history #rosemarykennedy #prefrontallobotomy #icepicklobotomy #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #psychosurgery
