Amarro Fiamberti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amarro Fiamberti was an Italian psychiatrist who is best known for being the first to document a transorbital (i.e. through an eye socket) approach to the frontal lobes of the brain. His obscure reports were discovered by his contemporary, Walter Freeman, who built upon the technique in a new form of lobotomy called the transorbital lobotomy, or informally the "ice pick lobotomy".
