Institutions des sciences neurologiques à Paris 1800-1950
We present a short historical review on the major institutions and figures that
contributed to make Paris a renowned centre of physiology and neurology during
the xixth and the first half of the xxth centuries. We purposely chose to focus
on the period 1800-1950, as 1800 corresponds to the development of brain science
and 1950 marks the true beginning of neuroscience. Our presentation is divided
into four chapters, matching the main disciplines which have progressed and
contributed the most to the knowledge we have of the brain sciences: anatomy,
physiology, neurology, and psychiatry-psychology. The present article is the
first of four parts of this review, which includes an introduction followed by
the chapter on neuroanatomy and on anatomo-pathology, which includes biographical
sketches of Felix Vicq d'Azyr, Francois-Xavier Bichat, Franz Joseph Gall, Jean
Cruveilhier, Jules Bernard Luys, Paul Broca, Louis Ranvier, Andre-Victor Cornil,
Albert Gombault, Jean Nageotte and Rene Couteaux.
