Johann Lorenz Gasser
Johann Lorenz Gasser (born March 9, 1723 in Maria Saal , † April 3, 1765 in Vienna ) was an Austrian anatomist . The Ganglion Gasseri has been named after him by his student Raimund Balthasar Hirsch since 1765 .
As a young lecturer, Gasser represented the anatomy lectures of Franz Joseph Jaus at the University of Vienna , who neglected his duties in this regard. Gasser's lectures were enthusiastically received. Gerard van Swieten (1700–1772) and Anton de Haën (1704–1776) were so impressed by them that they earned his doctorate in medicine without an examination. In the same year he became a professor and appointed to the chair of anatomy.
