He is recognised for his contribution to the field of comparative neuroanatomy. Professor Nieuwenhuys graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Amsterdam in 1955 and in 1960 obtained a PhD at the same institute with the dissertation Het Telencephalon der Actinopterygii.^[1] He started his research in the field of neuroanatomy in The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. He was the author of important works in neuroanatomy including The Central Nervous System of Vertebrates, The Human Central Nervous System and Towards a New Neuromorphology.

In 1998, Nieuwenhuys was awarded the Academy Medal of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).^[2]
