Bouillaud, Jean Baptiste

    0.01 sec.

Bouillaud, Jean Baptiste (1796-1881)

French physician. He demonstrated the relationship of heart disease and acute rheumatism, gave a classical description of aphasia (loss of speech), and located the speech centre in the interior lobe of the brain. His Traité des maladies du coeur/Diseases of the Heart was published in 1835.

Bouillaud was born in Bragette, near Angoulême. After serving under Napoleon, he studied medicine at Paris and qualified in 1823, becoming professor of clinical medicine in 1831. He was recognized as one of the finest diagnosticians of his time, but relied over much on blood-letting as a form of treatment.
