Nerve cell from anterior horn of spinal cord grey matter. Drawn by Otto Friedrich Carl Deiters in 1865. Deiters (1834-1863) was a German neuroanatomist, remembered for his microscopic research of the brain and spinal cord. His name is lent to the "nucleus of Deiters," also called the lateral vestibular nucleus, and "Deiters' cells," structures that are associated with outer hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear.
