B.
LUYS (1828/1897), parisian by birth, spend most of his life in his native city.
His doctorate in medicine in 1857 was obtained on the basis of a thesis on the microscopic pathology of tuberculosis.
In 1862 he became médecin des hôpitaux and chef de service at the Salpêtrière and the Charité and two years later succeeded Marcé as director of the Maison de santé Esquirol at Ivry-sur-Seine.
Luys was among the most notable of the many nineteenth-century French neurologists who made important contributions to the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the brain.
It was Luys who first delineated the four main division of the thalamus and described and pictured two of its structures later named for him : the subthalamic nucleus and the centre median.
In this comprehensive treatise on mental diseases, Luys discusses the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system.
The etiology, symptomatology and classification of mental diseases are covered and special consideration is given to the psychoses".
