Soriano Award Lectures
The Fulton Society, Victor and Clara Soriano, and the Soriano Lectureship, are endowed lectures presented at the World Congresses of Neurology.
John Farquhar Fulton (1899-1960) was chair of physiology at Yale, and established the first primate physiology laboratory in the USA. One of his students was an Uruguayan neurologist, Victor Soriano, who completed a neurophysiology fellowship with Fulton. Victor and his wife Clara devoted their lives to the pursuit of neurological sciences and established numerous symposia and also the International Journal of Neurology. They founded the Fulton Society and endowed the Soriano Lectureship at the World Federation of Neurology.
The first WFN endowed lecture was made possible by a grant to the WFN from Victor and Clara Soriano. The symposium during which the Soriano Lecture takes place is known as the Fulton Society Symposium.
