High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Bernard Sachs (January 2, 1858 in Baltimore, Maryland -- February 8, 1944) was a Jewish-American neurologist. After graduating with a B.A. from Harvard in 1878, Sachs travelled to Europe and studied under some of the most prominent physicians of the time, such as Adolf Kussmaul (1822-1902), Friedrich Daniel von Recklinghausen (1833-1910), Friedrich Goltz (1834-1902), Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), Karl Friedrich Otto Westphal (1833-1890), Theodor Meynert (1833-1892), Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893), and John Hughlings Jackson (1835-1911). Later, in 1885, Sachs translated Meynert’s classic treatise Psychiatrie into English.
