Carl Wernicke

Carl Wernicke (born the May 15th 1848 in Tarnowitz, Silesia, Poland, dead the June 15th 1905 with Gräfenroda, Germany), neurologist and psychiatrist Polish emigrant in Germany, is with Paul Broca a precursor of research on the cerebral localizations by the aphasiology , a figure of the Neurologie in general, and Neuropsychologie in particular.

It was made known in particular by its work on a zone of the brain implied in the language, to which it will leave its name (the Aire of Wernicke), like with the associated syndrome of aphasia (Aphasie of Wernicke). Its name is also attached to the Encéphalopathie of Wernicke.

He was pupil of Théodor Meynert, which perhaps explains why the first work of Sigmund Freud (inspired by this last) is close to these concepts.
