Abstract
A small dedicated cohort of neurologists, neuroscientists and nerve surgeons came together in the 1970s to further the fields of peripheral neurobiology and neuropathy. These pioneers built on sentinel but uncoordinated discoveries surrounding nerve structure and function dating back centuries earlier. As a somewhat neglected afterthought of major neurological and neuroscience meetings, dedicated work on peripheral neurons has evolved, most recently through the Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) formed in 1993. Major leaders in the field have included Dr. Peter James Dyck, Peter K. Thomas and Arthur Asbury. While peripheral neurobiology has struggled to assert its eminent role in neurosciences and neurological disease, the character of its collegial, focused and translational excellence has attracted welcome attention to the field. Nerve heroes have grown in stature and number.
