Elizabeth C.
Crosby (October 25, 1888 – July 28, 1983) was an American neuroanatomist.
Elizabeth C.
Crosby was born to Lewis Frederick and Francis Kreps Crosby in Petersburg, Michigan in 1888.
Crosby received the National Medal of Science from President Jimmy Carter in 1979 "for outstanding contributions to comparative and human neuroanatomy and for the synthesis and transmission of knowledge of the entire nervous system of the vertebrate phylum." Her "careful descriptions" of vertebrate brains - especially reptiles - helped "outline evolutionary history" and her work as a clinical diagnostic assistant to neurosurgeons resulted in "the correlation of anatomy and surgery."
