Description
Summary:Professor Jean-Martin Charcot is considered the most important professor of Neurology and also the head of the Salp&#234;tri&#232;re School of Neurology. In a famous picture painted by Andr&#233; Brouillet and presented at the Salon of 1887, under the title "A clinical lesson at the Salp&#234;tri&#232;re", Professor Charcot presents a case of hysteria to a large audience of physicians and renowned intellectuals. Copies of this guided picture are also available for sale at the shop of the Museum of the School of Medicine of Paris and are frequently used in lectures by neurologists worldwide. However, in these reproductions, Gilles de la Tourette's and Charles F&#233;r&#233;'s positions are inverted. This historical note sheds some light on this little mistake in some of the reproductions of Brouillet's famous painting, so that further confusion can be avoided.<br>O professor Jean-Martin Charcot &#233; considerado o professor mais importante da Neurologia e tamb&#233;m o chefe da Escola de Neurologia de Salp&#234;tri&#232;re.
