#Austrian #physician and otologist who won the #NobelPrize for Physiology or #Medicine in 1914 for his work on the physiology and #pathology of the #vestibular (#balancing) apparatus of the #innerear.

The news of this award reached Bárány in a #Russian prisoner-of-war camp. He had been captured while attached to the Austrian army as a civilian surgeon and had tended soldiers with head injuries, which fact had enabled him to continue his #neurological studies on the correlation of the vestibular apparatus, the #cerebellum and the #muscular apparatus.

Following the personal intervention of Prince Carl of #Sweden on behalf of the #RedCross, he was released from the prisoner-of-war camp in 1916 and was presented with the Nobel Prize by the King of Sweden at #Stockholm.
