friedrich schultze -lrb- 12 august 1848 -- 14 october 1934 -rrb- was a german neurologist who was a native of rathenow , brandenburg .
he is known for being the founder of child neurology .
in 1871 he earned his doctorate at heidelberg , and afterwards spent several years as an assistant to pathologist nikolaus friedreich -lrb- 1825 -- 1882 -rrb- .
in 1887 he was invited as a `` full professor '' to the university of dorpat , and shortly afterwards became director of the medical clinic and policlinic at the university of bonn , where he spent the remainder of his career .
schultze is remembered for his numerous medical publications involving neuroanatomical and neuropathological investigations that he performed .
in 1884 he was credited with being the first physician to describe a neurological disorder that later became known as charcot-marie-tooth disease .
he also provided an early description of acroparesthesia .
in 1891 with wilhelm heinrich erb -lrb- 1840 -- 1921 -rrb- and adolph strümpell -lrb- 1853 -- 1925 -rrb- , he founded the journal `` deutsche zeitschrift für nervenheilkunde '' .
his name is lent to the eponymous `` comma tract of schultze '' -lrb- interfascicular fasciculus -rrb- , a compact bundle of posterior root fibers situated near the border between the fasciculus gracilis -lrb- tract of goll -rrb- and cuneate fasciculus -lrb- tract of burdach -rrb- of the spinal cord .
