‎EDITION ORIGINALE des leçons données en 1874 par A. Vulpian à la Faculté de médecine de Paris ---- "Vulpian's influence upon his many followers in several fields of knowledge made him the intellectual leader of his day. He had a profound and salutary effect upon neurological thought". (Haymaker p. 274) ---- "Vulpian received his medical training at Paris where he was a pupil of Flourens and followed him in the chair of comparative physiology at the Museum of Natural History in 1864. He succeeded Cruveilhier as chairman of the department of pathology at the Salpêtrière where he made extensive studies upon the action of various drugs on the nervous system and studied the principles of degeneration and regeneration in the nervous system. He was associated with Charcot at the Salpêtrière and Charcot credited Vulpian's work for his success in describing multiple sclerosis. Among other discoveries, Vulpian first showed that the adrenal cortex produces a substance later called adrenalin . (Heirs of Hippocrates) ---- MacHenry p. 291‎
