Charcot was the most prominent French neurologist of the 19th century, and his name will forever be associated with ALS. Corcia and Meininger examine how Charcot’s quest to uncover the anatomical basis of hysteria led him ultimately to characterize ALS, and highlight the contributions made by others along the way.
