Johann Jakob Wepfer (23 dicembre 1620 - 26 gennaio 1695) fu un celebre patologo e farmacologo svizzero nativo di Schaffhausen. Studiò medicina a Strasburgo, Basilea e Padova, e nel 1647 tornò nella sua città natale per praticare l'arte medica. Fu anche un medico della famiglia reale. Wepfer è ricordato per il suo lavoro sull'anatomia vascolare del cervello, e i suoi studi sulle malattie cerebrovascolari. Fu il primo medico ad ipotizzare che gli effetti IMG_0138_clipped_rev_1di un ictus fossero il risultato di sanguinamenti del cervello. Arrivò anche ad ipotizzare che i sintomi dell'ictus potevano essere causati anche da un blocco di una delle arterie che normalmente forniscono sangue al cervello. Da studi post-mortem, ottenne importanti informazioni sulle arterie carotidee e vertebrali. Nel 1658 pubblicò un trattato che divenne presto un classico l'"Historiae apoplecticorum". Wepfer diede importanti contributi anche nel campo della farmacologia sperimentale e tossicologia. Condusse importanti esperimenti sulla tossicità della cicuta, dell'Helleborus e l'Aconitum mettendo in guardia anche contro l'uso dell'arsenico, dell'antimonio e del mercurio in medicina. Nel campo della farmacologia / tossicologia pubblicò nel 1679 questo lavoro qui presentato sulla cicuta e su altri numerose sostanze e piante velenose utilizzate in medicina che divenne ben presto un testo basilare per la storia della farmacologia e della medicina moderna.
