Psychiatrist Amariah Brigham (1798-1849) was the first director of the Utica Psychiatric Center, a founding member of what would become the American Psychiatric Association, and editor of the organisation's journal, now titled the American Journal of Psychiatry. In this volume he 'discussed the structure and function of the brain, medulla, spinal cord, and cranial nerves. Although most of the clinical portions of the book deal with mental diseases, he did discuss inflammation of the brain, apoplexy, epilepsy, tinnitus, chorea, delirium tremens, and tic douloureux' (DeJong, History of American Neurology, p. 8).
