Charcot - Jean Martin Charcot

French neurologist. Born in Paris, he graduated from the University of Paris in 1853. He worked in a hospital and became professor of pathological anatomy at the Paris Medical School in 1872. In 1882, he became professor of neurology at the Salpêtrière Hospital, which was newly established for Charcot. He published many research papers, but his most famous is Lectures on Diseases of the Nervous System at the Salpêtrière, published in 1872. In it, he clarified the pathological features of tabes dorsalis, described its electric shock pain and joint pain, differentiated between tabes dorsalis progressive muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and distinguished between tremulous paralysis and multiple sclerosis. He also conducted important research on hysteria, and published valuable papers on diseases of the liver, kidneys, and bile ducts. The explorer Jean Baptiste Étienne Auguste Charcot (1867-1936) was his son, and in 1910 he discovered an island west of the Antarctic Peninsula, which he named Charcot Island after his father.
