Figures and institutions of the neurological sciences in Paris from 1800 to 1950. Part II: Neurophysiology.
Revue Neurologique 2012 Februrary
We present a short historical review of the major figures and institutions that contributed to make Paris a renowned centre of physiology and neurology during the xixth and the first half of the xxth century. We purposely chose to focus on the period 1800-1950, as 1800 corresponds to the actual beginning of experimental physiology of the nervous system - what is here referred to as "neuroscience"-and 1950 marks its exponential rise. 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 second of four parts of this review which includes the chapter on neurophysiology with selected biographical sketches of François Magendie, Marie Jean-Pierre Flourens, Claude Bernard, Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard, Étienne-Jules Marey, Alfred Fessard and Denise Albe-Fessard.
