Dr. Egas Moniz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1949 for his development of the prefrontal leucotomy, a form of lobotomy. His work ultimately led to the controversial procedure becoming more widely practiced before falling out of favor in the mid-20th century due to ethical concerns and the development of safer alternatives.
