History

The journal was established in 1867 as the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology.

Edward Perceval Wright (Trinity College Dublin).[5] At the time of the journal's first publication, the subjects of anatomy and physiology were not regarded as separate entities and were both taught within anatomy departments.[5] The journal was renamed Journal of Anatomy in 1916 (vol. 51),[6] when it was adopted by the Anatomical Society, both in terms of management and ownership.[5]

In a celebratory issue marking 150 years since its first publication,[7] two commissioned reviews were published; one that provided a detailed historical overview of the journal[5] and another that summarised the broader history of topographical anatomy over the last several thousand years.[8]
