ABSTRACT
Introduction. Between 1907 and 1937, the Council for Study Extensions and Scientific Research (JAE, for its Spanish initials) implemented a system of grants (known as pensiones) to promote the training of Spanish researchers abroad. In this context, Justo Gonzalo Rodríguez-Leal was awarded a grant to further his medical training in Frankfurt. This article documents this period of his life based on two primary sources: the digital archive of the JAE and Justo Gonzalo’s family archive.
Development. This article reviews the difficulties that Justo Gonzalo faced to win a grant, and his stay during the 1934-1935 academic year at Universitäts Nervenklinik under Karl Kleist. Details are also provided on the publication of the research he conducted in Frankfurt on the pathophysiology of the thalamus, as well as his relationship with Kleist after returning to Spain.
Conclusions. The documents included in the family archive of Dr Justo Gonzalo Rodríguez-Leal offer insight into the functioning of the JAE grants and into the personal relationship between Gonzalo and Kleist.
