These two remarkable researchers created a most comprehensive and unique collection of histological sections and other objects—what is now called ‘the Vogt Collection’.  \nTo realize their ambitious research goals and to better understand the background against which neurological and psychiatric conditions emerge, the Vogts collected brains and studied them. During their professional lives, which spanned over 60 years, they processed large series of histological sections—altogether about 850 000 sections from different species (Fig. 1) .  \nCécile Vogt studied medicine in Paris and became internationally renowned for her research into the extrapyramidal system of the brain, neurostimulation and myelinization, among other things. Oskar Vogt’s work laid the foundations for an interdisciplinary approach to brain research and the mapping of the brain with focus on myeloarchitecture.1 In the first decade of the 20th century, Korbinian Brodmann—who was assistant of the Vogts in Berlin—published seminal papers about the cytoarchitecture of various brain regions, which he then integrated and expanded in his 1909 monograph that includes his famous cytoarchitectonic map with 43 areas (for an overview see Zilles3) . While Brodmann’s map is widely cited and dominates his legacy, Vogt’s myeloarchitectonic approach was less well known for many years and is only currently experiencing something of a renaissance.4,5  \nAt the turn of the 19th to the 20th century, new ideas and approaches emerged in different places and laboratories, changing the fields of neurology, psychiatry and neurosurgery and leading to progress in basic brain research. Oskar Vogt worked in the laboratory of Paul Flechsig in Leipzig, who studied the basis of myelinization during development, with Joseph Jules Dejerine in Paris, who published one of the most comprehensive textbooks on connectivity and anatomy and with Otto Binswanger in Jena, one of the founders of neuropsychiatry. Cécile Vogt studied in Pierre Marie’s lab in Paris, a famous neurologist and neuropathologist, where she met Oskar, whom she married 1899.  \nThe interest of the Vogts in the brain was driven by questions coming from neurology and psychiatry. Against this background, they developed their own ambitious research program and brought together a strong team of researchers and technicians in Berlin (Fig. 1) . Moreover, the Vogts collaborated with Otfried Foerster, a distinguished neurologist and neurosurgeon, to explore  \nthe relationship of neurostimulation with the underlying brain anatomy. Such comparisons were facilitated by stimulation experiments in monkey brains, which were later studied histologically (Fig. 1) .  \nInterestingly, the research programme of the Vogts combined different disciplines, including neuroanatomy, architectonics, histology, histopathology and electrophysiology, with neurochemistry and pharmacology, experimental and human genetics, physiology, psychology and phonetics. Accordingly, Oskar Vogt conceived and founded the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research in Berlin with such departments, where he was until 1937.  \nThe development of this program was tightly linked with an increasing number of histological sections from brains of healthy human subjects, patients, non-human primates and other species. In total, the Vogts generated sections from about 1600 human brains and more than 100 species of non-human primates and other animals including rats, bats, deer, cats, ravens, dolphins and horses. Some sections result from cutting blocks of hemispheres or slabs of hemispheres, while others were processed as entire organs. Most of the sections have been stained either fo","cbCaijvWKoTQWdvC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijvWKoTQWdvC","pdf",761814,"English","# The Vogt Collection: origin and purpose\n## Historical context and scientific foundations\n## Research program and interdisciplinary methods\n## Scale of the archive and preservation","[{\"question\":\"What is the Vogt Collection and what does it include?\",\"answer\":\"It is a large, unique collection of histological sections and other objects created by Cécile Vogt and Oskar Vogt.
