Fulgence Raymond

In 1877 he was chef de clinique under Germain Sée (1818–1896), becoming médecin des hôpitaux during the following year, and receiving his habilitation in 1880.

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).

Raymond made contributions in research of syringomyelia, neurasthenia, poliomyelitis, tabes dorsalis and diseases of the cauda equina, to name a few.

He also investigated hemianesthesia, a condition involving semihemispheric loss of sensitivity due to lesions of the cerebral cortex.
