He worked as secondary physician at the Allgemeines Krankenhaus in Vienna, and in 1879 became habilitated for internal medicine. Weiss is remembered for pioneer systematic research of the spinal marrow, medulla oblongata and basal ganglia. The eponymous "Weiss' sign" is named after him, which today is usually referred to as "Chvostek's sign".Weiss N. Centralbl Gesammt Ther 1883;1:9.

Calliauw was a brain surgeon, specialising in spinal marrow surgery and of epilepsy. He also devoted part of his time to research, especially regarding brain tumors and their treatment. He combined his neurosurgical practice with his academic career. From 1952 till 1955 he was an assistant of professor Corneel Heymans, Nobel Prize of Medicine, at the Institute of Pharmacology and Therapy in Ghent.

A coulibiac (from ) is a type of Russian pirog usually filled with salmon or sturgeon, rice or buckwheat, hard-boiled eggs, mushrooms, onions, and dill. The pie is baked in a pastry shell, usually of brioche or puff pastry. A classic grand coulibiac features several fillings, often a mixture of some white fish and rice for the top and bottom layers with fillets of sturgeon or salmon between. The most unusual ingredient commonly included in the grand version of the dish is vesiga, the spinal marrow of the sturgeon.

In Gorkha cuisine, giblets are cooked with chili pepper and tomato and relished as a side dish or appetizer known as karchi marchi. In his 19th century culinary dictionary, Alexander Dumas defines giblets as "the comb and kidneys of the rooster, the wing tips of hens, the spinal marrow, gizzard, and neck of the turkey, calves' sweetbreads and brains". They can be made as a standalone dish with beef marrow bouillon, mushrooms, artichoke, truffles (when in season) and celery. This giblet dish can be served as a casserole with rice, or used as a filling for the pastry vol-au-vent.

In 1885 he provided a description of the dorso-lateral tract, a bundle of fibers between the apex of the posterior horn and the surface of the spinal marrow, that was to become known as "Lissauer's tract".Lissauer's tract @ Who Named It Another eponymous term associated with Lissauer is "Lissauer's paralysis", a condition that is an apoplectic type of general paresis. Among his written works was an influential treatise on visual agnosia, being referred to as Seelenblindheit in 19th-century German medicine, a term that roughly translates to "mind blindness". Lissauer died in Hallstatt, Austria on September 21, 1891 at the age of 30.

In the following year he read before the Royal Society a paper On the Inverse Ratio which Subsists between Respiration and Irritability in the Animal Kingdom. His most important work in physiology was concerned with the theory of reflex action, embodied in a paper On the Reflex Function of the Medulla Oblongata and the Medulla Spinalis (1833)Hall M. On the reflex function of the medulla oblongata and medulla spinalis. Philosophical Transactions 1833, 123: 635–665, which was supplemented in 1837 by another On the True Spinal Marrow, and the Excito-motor System of Nerves. In this theory, he stated that the spinal cord is comprised by a chain of units that functions as an independent reflex arcs, and their activity integrates sensory and motor nerves at the segment of the spinal cord from which these nerves originate.

Charles-Prosper Ollivier d'Angers Charles-Prosper Ollivier d'Angers (11 October 1796 in Angers – 12 March 1845 in Paris) was a French pathologist and clinician, best known for his early investigations of the spinal cord. In 1823 he obtained his medical doctorate in Paris under the supervision of Pierre Augustin Béclard. During the following year, he published "Traité des maladies de la moelle épinière" (Treatise on the maladies of the spinal cord), a remarkable pioneer study in regards to the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the spinal cord. The books' expanded edition was released in 1827, and a third edition was published in 1837.Treatise on the Spinal Marrow and its Diseases’ (Anatomy, functions and general considerations on its diseases) by Ollivier d’ Angers CP (1796–1845) Spinal Cord In these works, he described the first case of, what was most likely, a disease known today as multiple sclerosis.
