The Lawrence M. Brass reflex hammer exhibit will be on display in the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library from June 17, 2008. It showcases more than 50 reflex hammers dating back to the late 1800s when the original reflex hammer was first incorporated into the neurologic examination.

In memory of the late Lawrence Brass, MD, Professor of Neurology and medical director of the stroke program, the Yale New Haven Stroke Center hosted the First Annual Lawrence M. Brass Stroke Symposium in June of 2007. The Brass family has generously offered to display the reflex hammer collection for symposium participants and for members of the Yale community during the summer months.
