French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893,to the left of the patient) demonstrating a case of hysteria,in 1886 at the Salpetriere hospital in Paris. Charcot's careful clinical observations and autopsies enabled him to relate some diseases of the nervous system to specific lesions; for example the paralysis of polio with the destruction of motor cells in the spinal cord. Charcot was a leading figure in the Paris Medical School,and his pupils included Sigmund Freud who developed Charcot's special interest in hysteria. Gilles de la Tourette (1857-1904),identifier of Tourette syndrome,is at the front of the group at lower left. The patient is Blanche Wittman,who later worked as an assistant to the physicist Marie Curie. Based on a painting by A. Brouillet | |
