English abstract In the beginning of modern Neurology, between the 19th and the 20th centuries, neurologists often assumed simultaneous positions of intellectual prominence and gained significant cultural credentials. Not only observers and admirers of music, literature, and the fine arts, many neurologists and neuroscientists worldwide developed significant cultural careers. When studying the careers and lives of the founders of Brazilian Neurology, one finds only sparse information on their cultural activities, which are often relegated to side notes. Therefore, the author aims to focus on the literary output of some of the most important early Brazilian neurologists, who excelled in poetry or longer written forms and were eventually immortalized by the Academia Brasileira de Letras: Antônio Austregésilo, Aloysio de Castro, Deolindo Couto, and Miguel Couto, contextualizing their artistic production in their respective academic lives
Portuguese abstract No princípio da Neurologia moderna, entre os séculos XIX e XX, neurologistas frequentemente assumiam simultaneamente posições de destaque intelectual e ganhavam credenciais intelectuais significativas. Não meros observadores e admiradores de música, literatura e artes visuais, muitos neurologistas e neurocientistas do mundo todo desenvolveram carreiras culturais paralelas. Ao estudar a vida e a carreira dos fundadores da Neurologia Brasileira, encontra-se apenas informação esparsa sobre suas atividades culturais, frequentemente relegadas a notas de rodapé. Logo, o autor objetiva focar na produção literária de alguns dos mais importantes neurologistas brasileiros, que se destacaram em poesia ou formas escritas em prosa e foram eventualmente imortalizados pela Academia Brasileira de Letras: Antônio Austregésilo, Aloysio de Castro, Deolindo Couto e Miguel Couto, contextualizando suas produções literárias em suas vidas respectivas
