About this person
As the student and collaborator of Jean Martin Charcot (1825-1893) at the Hôpital de la Salpêtrière in Paris, he contributed to research into cerebral localisation, language disorders, peripheral neuropathies and obsessions. As dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Bordeaux for some twenty years, his contribution was key to the construction of a university campus dedicated to this faculty. The permanence of the military medical school in Bordeaux can be largely attributed to him. He established the first provincial chair of psychiatry in Bordeaux for his collaborator Emmanuel Régis (1855-1918).
