Jean Baptiste Charcot was the son of the famous Salpetrière physician, Jean Martin Charcot (see No. 1918 ff.). He is often remembered as having led the search for the lost Antarctic explorer, Amundsen. Like his father, Jean Baptiste was a member of the Medical Faculty of Paris and was interested in degenerative diseases of the neuromuscular system. This book, dedicated to his father, is a review of the studies previously done on neuromuscular atrophy, together with reports and summaries of Charcot's own research.
