“…15 His doctorate thesis, defended at the University of Paris in 1853, focused on the "Goutte Asthénique Primitive, Nodosités de Jointures, Rhumatisme Articulaire Chronique", providing a classical description of progressive chronic rheumatism and differentiating it from cases of gout, under the chairmanship of Piorry. [2][3][4]8,84 His talents as a draftsman are revealed in the plate of hands with deformed fingers illustrating his thesis (►Figure 4). 8 Throughout his career, Charcot remained knowledgeable about rheumatic diseases and gout, and in 1863, he reported Alfred Baring Garrod's (1814-1917) observation of the high frequency of gout in those with previous signs of lead intoxication.…”

“…8,85 Additionally, Charcot described an arthropathy in patients with tabes dorsalis, known worldwide as "Charcot's joint," and another articular disease related to diabetic foot arthropathy, referred to as "Charcot's arthropathy" or "diabetic Charcot's foot," which is associated with various types of neuropathic diseases, but which is undoubtedly much more common in patients with diabetes mellitus.

[2][3][4]84,[86][87][88] In 1835, Robert James Graves (1796-1853) described cases of tachycardia and thyroid enlargement in young women, attributing them to a cardiac lesion and creating the cardiovascular theory with William Stokes (1804-1878).…”

Jean-Martin Charcot, widely regarded as a leading founder of modern neurology, made substantial contributions to the understanding and characterization of numerous medical conditions. His initial focus was on internal medicine, later expanding to include neuropathology, general neurology, and eventually emerging fields such as neuropsychology and neuropsychiatry. Furthermore, Charcot's intellectual pursuits extended beyond medicine, encompassing research in art history, medical iconography, sociology, religious studies, and the arts, solidifying his status as a polymath.

“…Charcot's extensive contributions to neurology are exceedingly well-known, particularly those related to multiple sclerosis (or sclerosis in plaques according to Charcot's original definition), lateral amyotrophic sclerosis (or Charcot's disease), Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (or hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, according to the current definition), motor ataxia, Parkinson's disease, and Tourette syndrome, among other diseases 7,8,[15][16][17] . Concerning to Ts, Charcot's contribution can be broken down into a number of different elements.…”

“…Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) is considered the father of modern neurology and one of the most important physicians and medical researchers of the 19 th century 1,2 . His tremendous contributions to science extended beyond neurology, a field in which he described countless diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and hysteria, to include internal medicine and its various subspecialties, such as rheumatology, pulmonology and geriatrics, as well as the specialties of orthopedics, pathology, psychiatry and psychology 1,2,3,4 .…”

Jean-Martin Charcot, the founder of modern neurology and leading figure in international neurology in the 19 th century, died on August 16, 1893, in the province of Morvan in the French countryside, at the age of 67. The funeral service was held in Paris at the La Salpêtrière Hospital, and Charcot was buried in Montmartre cemetery in the same city.
