Dubbed the German Pinel, Reil made contributions to medicine physiology and psychiatry with his work on neuroanatomy, medicine, therapeutics and mental illness.REIL, JOHANN CHRISTIAN, ED.FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST GERMAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY, founded by the neuroanatomist and psychiatrist Johann Christian Reil, discoverer of "Reil's island" in the brain (1796; Garrison-Morton 1387) and coiner of the term "psychiatry" (Garrison-Morton 4923). The Archiv attracted contributions from medical and scientific writers throughout Europe, including A. A. Fourcroy, Everard Home, W. C. Cruikshank, Georges Cuvier, Astley Cooper and Benjamin Collins Brodie. Reil himself contributed numerous articles to the Archiv between 1796 and 1812 on such subjects as medical semeiology, brain anatomy and the polarity of forces in the pregnant uterus. One of his best-known contributions was his "Von der Lebenskraft" ("On vital force" Garrison-Morton 596), published in the first volume of the Archiv (pp 8-162). Between 1807 and 1812 Reil published in the Archiv a series of important papers on cerebral anatomy, based on his dissections of the alcohol-fixed brain. These included descriptions of the nucleus (a concept Reil introduced), the lenticular nuclei and lemniscal system, as well as the "island" that now bears his name.
