  Auguste-Henri Forel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auguste-Henri Forel (September 1, 1848 - July 27, 1931) was a Swiss myrmecologist, neuroanatomist and psychiatrist, notable for his investigations into the brain structure of humans and ants.
Born in LaGracieuse, near Morges, Switzerland, he was a good friend of the eminent British entomologist Horace Donisthorpe, although his ardent socialist views frequently caused political arguments between the two.
Forel suffered a stroke that paralyzed his right side in 1912, but taught himself to write with his left hand and was able to continue his studies.

In this work Forel combined careful observations of insect behavior under naturalistic conditions with experimental studies that involved either the systematic variation of stimulus conditions (e.g., shape or color cues specifying the location of food) or the controlled manipulation of sensory input (e.g., coating the eyes with opaque varnish or extirpating sensory organs).
The overall goals of Forel's research were to examine the acuity and discriminatory ability of insect visual, chemical, and vibratory senses and to identify factors influencing insects' perception and spatial localization of environmental objects such as food, the nest, mates, and conspecifics.
Forel also reported systematic studies of chromatic and pattern discrimination in bees, thermal discrimination in ants, and tactile vibratory sensibility in a number of insect species.

Especially Auguste Forel (1848-1931), born in Morges (Vaud), the psychatrist, researcher of the brain and of ants, director of the clinic Burghölzli and professor at the university of Zurich, can be called the pioneer of sexology in Switzerland.
Forel had, "at the very pinnacle of his life", and after twenty years of hard work, given up the directorship of the Burghölzli and retired to private life in the Canton of Vaud, when, in 1905, he entered scientifically unmapped territory with his book "The Sexual Question".
Forel, himself beset with problems, was always bubbling, shining, glittering; he pulled us along, he seized us.
