Karl Friedrich Burdach (1776–1847) was a German physiologist, born in Leipzig.
He was graduated in medicine there in 1800; became professor of physiology in the University of Dorpat in 1811, and four years later took a similar position at the University of Königsberg.
He provided in 1822 the name--due the arching shape of its longest fibres--now given to the arcuate fasciculus.
Among his works are:
- Diatetik für Gesunde (1805)
- Enzyklopädie der Heilwissenschaft (three volumes, 1810-12)
- Vom Bau und Leben des Gehirns und Rückenmarks (three volumes, 1819-25)
- Die Physiologie als Erfahrungswissenschaft (1826-40)
- Term
- Column of Burdach — fasciculus cuneatus; the lateral portion of the dorsal funiculus of the spinal cord. - The American Illustrated Medical Dictionary (1938)
