Panizza is remembered for being the first physician to discover that the posterior cortex was the center for vision. He published his findings in an 1855 treatise named Osservazioni sul nervo ottico (Observations on the Optic Nerve). At the time, his discovery was largely ignored, and it would be several years until the importance of Panizza's findings were realized. He also performed extensive studies of the lymphatic system of reptiles, and in 1833 described the "Foramen of Panizza", which is a hole with a valve that connects the left and right aorta in the crocodilian heart. Another anatomical eponym named after him are the Panizza's plexuses which are two plexuses of the lymph vessels in the lateral fossae of the frenulum of the prepuce.
