Richard Krafft-Ebing discovered the connection between paresis (a type of paralysis) and syphilis in the late 19th century. This was a significant finding because it led to the understanding that some mental disorders may have a physical cause, in this case, an infection. Krafft-Ebing is also known for his work in the study of sexual behavior and deviance.
