- catalog description "William Gordon Lennox (1884-1960), M.D. 1913, Harvard Medical School, was Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, and one of the leading researchers of epilepsy in the United States in the 20th century. He became interested in epilepsy and epileptics when he found that little research was available on the clinical or sociological aspects of epilepsy and thus devoted his career to discovering the cause of epilepsy and developing a treatment for the condition. Lennox joined Dr. Stanley Cobb at Harvard Medical School in 1922 where he studied the glucose metabolism of epileptics. In 1934, he shifted his research focus to the study of brain waves, and with the collaboration of Hallowell Davis and Walter Cannon, he developed the electroencephalogram. His study of the brain waves of twins led him to establish the Seizure Unit at Children’s Hospital in 1947, which specialized in diagnostic and research training. Lennox’s research contributions included proving the effect of the drug dilantin on seizures, genetics, and founded the American Epilepsy League and the Committee for Public Understanding of Epilepsy. In 1960, Lennox published Epilepsy and Related Disorders, which was considered the standard study on epilepsy.".
