- Theodor Kaes
Theodor Joseph Martin Kaes (
November 7 ,1852 - 1913) was a Germanneurologist who was a native ofAmberg .He practiced medicine at the Friedrichsberg Psychiatric Hospital in
Hamburg , were he was FirstProsector and head of the "brainanatomy " laboratory from 1899 until 1913. After his death, he was succeeded at Friedrichsberg byAlfons Maria Jakob (1884-1931).Theodor Kaes was a pioneer in myeloarchitectonics, and is remembered for his morphological and myeloarchitectural research of the
cerebral cortex , including the creation of cortical maps based on its fiber architecture. His name is lent to the eponymous "line of Kaes", which is a thin band of myelinated fibers located between the external granular layer and the external pyramidal layer of the cerebral cortex. This structure is sometimes called the "stria of molecular layer TA", or the "Kaes-Bekhterev layer"; named in conjunction with Russianneurophysiologist Vladimir Bekhterev (1857-1927).External links
