Untersuchungen ueber Natur und Kunst im kranken und gesunden Zustande des Menschen" (1792), much more fame brought him to read about the doctrine of the skull, which he read in different universities and cities in Germany. Settling in Paris, he and his friend Shpurtsgeymom developed his theory in the great work "Anatomie et physiologie du systeme nerveux en general et du cerveau en particulier, etc." (1810 – 1820), in addition, he wrote "Introduction au cours de physiologie du cerveau" (1808) and "Sur les fonctions du cerveau" (1822).
