Marie's crossed adduction reflex
Also known as:
Marie’s gekreutzte adduktionsreflexe (German).
Associated persons:
Pierre Marie
Description:
Crossed, contralateral adductor reflex. Described by Pierre Marie on April 13, 1894. However, it was described independently in the same year by G. Hinsdale and J. M. Taylor. Jean B. Crocq (born 1859) wanted to give priority to Thul (1888), but the reflex was described even earlier, by Ernst Adolf Gustav Gottfried von Strümpell (1859-1925) and Berger, both in 1879.
I have no information about Hinsdale, Taylor, or Berger. J. M. Taylor could be James Taylor, born 1859.
