Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1869, Harvey Cushing received his M.D. from Harvard University. His dedication to medical techniques led to the founding of neuro-surgery. His brilliant work is even today considered fundamental to the fields of brain and spinal cord surgery. And, his important contributions to the understanding of the pituitary gland led to the discovery of "Cushing's Syndrome." Cushing eagerly shared his knowledge with colleagues, and throughout his career, contributed greatly to the training of young surgeons. In 1931, the Harvey Cushing Society was formed to effect a contact among medical colleagues for the free exchange of ideas. In 1965, that Society became the spokesman for neuro-surgery in the United States, and is today known as the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.
