Electrocochleography
Auditory Pathway
Electrocochleography (ECoG) is a diagnostic technique used to record electrical potentials generated in the inner ear (cochlea) and auditory nerve in response to sound stimulation. It has played an important role in understanding cochlear physiology
The origins of ECoG trace back to the pioneering work of Hallowell Davis and Saul B. G. T. Derbyshire in the 1930s.
-
In 1935, they recorded the cochlear microphonic (CM) from animal models.
-
Their work demonstrated that the cochlea produces electrical potentials that mirror acoustic stimuli.
-
These discoveries confirmed that hearing involves measurable bioelectrical activity.

Tennis Elbow
Lateral Epicondyle: Distal End Of Humerus
In 1873, Walter Clopton Wingfield patented a game called Sphairistikè, played on grass.
In 1877, the first Wimbledon Championships was held — the oldest tennis tournament in the world.
Lacosamide
Lacosamide was first discovered in 1996 at the University of Houston.
The work was led by Dr. Harold Kohn, Ph.D., a medicinal chemistry researcher at the University of Houston
Researchers there hypothesized that modified amino acids might have therapeutic potential for epilepsy and synthesized hundreds of such compounds.
One of these — originally labeled with codes like ADD 234037/MSP-927 — showed strong anticonvulsant activity in animal models. This compound later became known as lacosamide
