“…Strömgren created a rich environment for clinical practice and research—most famously the institutes for genetics and epidemiology—and for biological psychiatry with a world‐famous unit for lithium research to be headed by Mogens Schou (see below). Strömgren's contributions earned him a well‐deserved reputation as a European leader in psychiatry as described in many articles (Berrios & Schioldann, 2017; Bertelsen, 2009; Kragh, 2008b; Schioldann, 2014; Steinberg et al, 2011; Vestergaard, 2011) including one with his wife as co‐author (Schioldann & Stromgren, 1996).…”

The history of Danish neuroscience starts with an account of impressive contributions made at the 17th century. Thomas Bartholin was the first Danish neuroscientist, and his disciple Nicolaus Steno became internationally one of the most prominent neuroscientists in this period. From the start, Danish neuroscience was linked to clinical disciplines. This continued in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries with new initiatives linking basic neuroscience to clinical neurology and psychiatry in the same scientific environment. Subsequently, from the middle of the 20th century, basic neuroscience was developing rapidly within the preclinical university sector. Clinical neuroscience continued and was even reinforced during this period with important translational research and a close co‐operation between basic and clinical neuroscience. To distinguish ‘history’ from ‘present time’ is not easy, as many historical events continue in present time. Therefore, we decided to consider ‘History’ as new major scientific developments in Denmark, which were launched before the end of the 20th century. With this aim, scientists mentioned will have been born, with a few exceptions, no later than the early 1960s. However, we often refer to more recent publications in documenting the developments of initiatives launched before the end of the last century. In addition, several scientists have moved to Denmark after the beginning of the present century, and they certainly are contributing to the present status of Danish neuroscience—but, again, this is not the History of Danish neuroscience.
