Boy with hydrocephalus, Muybridge motion study, 1880s. Series of photographs showing a boy with hydrocephalus (fluid in the brain walking. This is a condition in which there is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the liquid that surrounds and cushions the brain. This leads to the compression of the brain tissue. These photographs were obtained by English photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge (1830-1904) in his pioneering work documenting the motion of humans and animals. Between 1883 and 1886, Muybridge made more than 100,000 images using his ground-breaking stop-motion photography techniques. In 1885 he partnered with Francis Dercum, chief of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania's Dispensary for Nervous Diseases to study the movement of neurological patients. The results were published in 'Animal Locomotion' (1887). This study was published in Volume VIII: Abnormal Movements. Males and Females (nude and semi-nude).
