FIRST EDITION. “Associated with Charcot at the Salpêtrière, Vulpian (1826–1887), a pupil of Flourens, devoted most of his effort to the study of the physiology (1866) and pathology (1879–1886) of the nervous system. He studied degeneration and regeneration in nerves and the effects of drugs on the nervous system. Vulpian, using the crude methods then available, shed new light on neuropathology and succeeded Cruveilhier to the chair of pathological anatomy at the Salpêtrière” (McHenry).
