Abstract:
The organizational development and the main contributions of the successive chairpersons of the Chinese Society of Neurology since its establishment were reviewed in this article. The predecessor of the Chinese Society of Neurology was the Chinese Society of Neurology and Psychiatry, which was established in 1951. The early chairpersons, including Xu Yingkui, Xia Zhenyi, and Chen Xueshi, all made pioneering contributions in the field of neurology and psychiatry. In 1994, the Chinese Society of Neurology was officially established, with Professor Wang Xinde elected as the first chairperson. He achieved fruitful results in the field of cerebrovascular diseases. Subsequently, Professor Chen Qingtang and Professor Lyu Chuanzhen were elected as chairpersons. They made important achievements in the fields of neuropathology, neuroimmunology, and other areas. Since 2007, the Society has implemented a system of three chairpersons (current, former, and incoming), with Professor Cui Liying, Professor Jia Jianping, Professor Pu Chuanqiang, Professor Wang Yongjun, and others serving successively. They have led the development of various disciplines in neurology, such as neurophysiology and neuromuscular diseases, and have propelled Chinese neurology onto the international academic stage.
