Charles Edward Beevor
Charles Edward Beevor ( June 12, 1854 - December 5, 1908 ) was an English neurologist and anatomist .
Life
In 1902 he became treasurer of the " Neurological Society of the United Kingdom ", in 1905 its vice-president and in 1907 its president. His presidential inaugural address dealt with the arterial vascular supply of the brain. His work on the subject was published in the same year in the neurological journal Brain , in whose editing he assisted Henry Head .
A clinical sign, the so-called Beevor sign, was named after Beevor . In a 100-page monograph, he described this sign in which the belly button moves upward when the patient stands up from a lying to a sitting position. The sign occurs as a result of weakness in the lower half of the rectus abdominis muscle .
He also described the masseter reflex and the brain area supplied by the anterior choroid artery . He coined the “the brain does not know muscles, only movements” known as the Beevors axiom.
