Konrad Viktor Schneider
Konrad Viktor Schneider (1614 in Bitterfeld – 10 August 1680 in Wittenberg) was a German physician and anatomist.
He studied at the University of Wittenberg, and in 1636 became a professor of medicine at the University of Jena. Two years later he returned to Wittenberg, where in June 1640 he was appointed professor of anatomy and botany.[1][2]
In 1660–62 he published "De catarrhis", a multi-volume work in which he refuted the long-held belief that nasal mucus was a cerebral secretion.[1][3] The eponym "Schneiderian membrane" is another name for the nasal mucosa.[4]
