Friederich Golz
Friederich Golz was a German scientist and researcher, who was a pioneer in psychosurgery. He performed the first lobotomy on dogs in 1890. His experiments involved removing portions of the dogs’ temporal lobes. As a result the dogs were more calm and less aggressive. His work inspired the first lobotomies in humans, performed by Gottlieb Burkhardt, in 1892.
