It is named after Augustus V. Waller.  The word wallerian is not a proper noun.  It's the same principle as applied to Parkinson disease when the dictator says "parkinsonism". 


I've seen a lot of text books and word books that have wrong spellings in them.

Learning to research is going to be SO important for you as you learn this profession!


I went to Google and typed it in the way  you had it. That took me to "Huntington's chorea" -- I searched within that disease for "frederick" and "fredrick" and was asked "Did you mean Freidereich" (or whatever that was).


So I RE-googled using quotes and instead of 84 hits or 300 hits, I got over 64,000 hits on Freiderich ataxia.


Honest. Not trying to put you down in any way. I had to learn to use Google too, just like everybody did.


And as for Stedman's -- that $35 will pay itself back scores of times that you don't have to stop what you're doing and go go the web and fumble around. I personally don't use my books now. They're in a storeroom all buried. But I have 25 years' experience at this, too. :)
