Jean-Martin Charcot

Lectures on the Diseases of the Nervous System

1872-1887 (English lectures 1877-1881) · 19th Century · History

Charcot's lectures show clinical neurology becoming a public method: observe signs, localize lesions, correlate symptoms with anatomy, and teach by cases. The English volumes gather Salpetriere lectures on spinal cord disease, paralysis, tremor, sclerosis, locomotor ataxia, hysteria, epilepsy, and related nervous disorders.
