In this message we bring an image of a stamp issued in 1960 with Jean Martin Charcot.
Jean-Martin Charcot (29 November 1825 – 16 August 1893; English pronunciation: /ʃɑrˈkoʊ/, US dict: shâr·kō′) was a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology.[1] He is known as "the founder of modern neurology" and is "associated with at least 15 medical eponyms", includingCharcot-Marie-Tooth disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (motor neurone disease).[1] Charcot has been referred to as "the father of French neurology and one of the world's pioneers of neurology".[2]
His work greatly influenced the developing fields of neurology and psychology. He was the "foremost neurologist of late nineteenth-century France"[3]and has been called "the Napoleon of the neuroses".[4]
