Percival Bailey
Percival Bailey (born 9 May 1892, died 10 August 1973) is an American neuropathologist, neurosurgeon and psychiatrist.
He came from Illinois. He initially studied at Illinois Normal University, but in 1912 moved to the University of Chicago, where he became interested in neuroscience. In 1918 he graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston, and in 1919 began working as Harvey Cushing's assistant at Boston's Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. In 1928 he became Head of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Chicago, a 1939 professor of neurology and neurological surgery at the University of Illinois. From 1951 he was director of the Illinois State Psychiatric Institute.
Bailey's work was of great importance for neurosurgery, neurology, neuroanatomy and neuropathology. Bailey and Cushing's work in 1926 "A Classification of the Tumors of the Glioma Group on a Histogenic Basis with a Correlated Study of Prognosis" is at the root of modern neuroscience.
