Research interests

Dr. Neumann was clinically trained in anatomical pathology and neuropathology.  Most of his research publications have been in mouse neurogenetics and molecular human genetics.  In the past several years, he has concentrated on the history, language and philosophy of the anatomical sciences, with frequent publication in the journal Clinical Anatomy.  He has also contributed to the international standard anatomical terminologies, the TA2viewer website, the Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, and Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary.
