Edme Vulpian, French neurologist

Edme Felix Alfred Vulpian (1826-1887), French neurologist. Vulpian was born and educated in Paris. His doctoral thesis (1853) was on the origin of cranial nerves III to X. He taught and researched neurophysiology, and in 1862 took over the running of the Salpetriere mental hospital with fellow neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. In 1867, Vulpian was appointed professor of pathological anatomy at the faculty of medicine and, in 1872, took the chair of experimental and comparative anatomy. Vulpian discovered the chromaffin system of the adrenal gland, and studied the action of drugs such as curare, strychnine and nicotine. Photographed circa 1875

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed French neurologist, Edme Vulpian. Born in 1826 and educated in Paris, Vulpian made significant contributions to the field of neurology during his lifetime. His groundbreaking doctoral thesis focused on unraveling the mysteries surrounding cranial nerves III to X. Vulpian's expertise led him to teach and conduct research in neurophysiology, eventually assuming leadership at the renowned Salpetriere mental hospital alongside fellow neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. In recognition of his exceptional knowledge, he was appointed professor of pathological anatomy at the faculty of medicine in 1867. Throughout his career, Vulpian delved into various areas within neuroscience. Notably, he discovered the chromaffin system within the adrenal gland and conducted extensive studies on drugs like curare, strychnine, and nicotine. This photograph captures Vulpian circa 1875 when he was deeply engrossed in his pioneering work. With a stern yet determined expression on his face, it is evident that this brilliant physician dedicated himself wholeheartedly to advancing medical knowledge. Edme Felix Alfred Vulpian's legacy as a pathologist and physiologist remains influential even today. This remarkable image serves as a testament to his invaluable contributions towards understanding neurological disorders and furthering our comprehension of human physiology during the late 19th century.
