Fulgence Raymond



Fulgence Raymond (September 29, 1844 - September 28, 1910) was a French neurologist who was born in the French department Indre-et-Loire. Originally trained as a veterinarian, he later studied human medicine under Alfred Vulpian (1826-1887) in Paris. In 1894 he succeeded Jean Martin Charcot (1825-1893) as chair of neurology at the Faculty of Medicine; a position he held until his death in 1910. During his career he worked with several famous physicians, including Joseph Babinski (1857-1932), Georges Marinesco (1863-1938) and Pierre Marie (1853-1940). Radiologist Jean-Athanase Sicard (1872-1929) was a prominent student of his.

Raymond made several contributions in his research of nervous and muscular diseases, including syringomyelia, neuritis, spinal disorders, tabes dorsalis and hemianesthesia (loss of sensation on one side of the body). With psychologist Pierre Janet (1859-1947) he performed studies on neurosis and psychosomatic disorders. Also, along with Janet he co-wrote Névroses et idées fixes and Les obsessions et la psychasthénie.
