Jacob Augustus Lockhart Clarke
Clarke's Column: He is the namesake of the column of Clarke (or Clarke's nucleus), the dorsal nucleus of the spinal cord, which he was the first to locate and describe.

Proprioception: Charles Sherrington
In 1906, Charles Scott Sherrington introduced the term “proprioception”, describing the sense of body position and movement. He also described muscle spindles and reflex arcs, key to understanding spinocerebellar input.
Paul Flechsig used myelin staining to map ascending tracts.
The dorsal (posterior) spinocerebellar tract was distinguished from other posterior column pathways.

Moritz Heinrich Romberg
In 1846, Romberg described the characteristic instability of patients with tabes dorsalis (neurosyphilis affecting the posterior columns).
He observed that such patients could stand with eyes open but began to sway or fall when they closed their eyes.
