Excerpt

Tatsuji Inouye (1881–1976) was the first person to delineate accurately the cortical representation of visual space in humans. Inouye’s father, who was descended from a long line of Japanese physicians, founded the Inouye Eye Hospital in Tokyo in 1884 which continues to bear the family name. Tatsuji was head of this hospital from 1909 to 1963 when he was succeeded by his son and, more recently, his grandson. …
