The authors review the most important contributions of Pierre Marie to the elucidation and description of several neurological diseases, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth’s disease and hereditary cerebellar ataxia, as well as his contributions to Internal Medicine, including his pioneering studies on acromegaly, ankylosing spondylitis, and hypertrophic p...

... [1][2][3]5,6 This fact escalated the rivalry between Marie and Dejerine, which was already quite evident with the famous duels between them, including the so-called debate of aphasias in Paris, which occurred in the year 1908. 1,6,[15][16][17][18] In ...
... In 1917, at last, Pierre Marie returned to the Salpêtrière as head of the neurology service; 24 years after Charcot's death, the school he had created returned to power. 1,5,6,18 Due to Pierre Marie's difficult and sometimes irascible temperament, shortly after his return to the Salpêtrière and the beginning of his activities as head of the neurology service, he immediately determined that Dejerine's widow, Augusta Dejerine-Klumpke, should be expelled from the hospital, giving a period of 2 weeks for this action to be accomplished. 5,11,17 Although little is known about the expulsion itself, it is established that the trigger for the expulsion was, allegedly, economical: as France was devastated at the end of World War I, the Salpêtrière could no longer afford the costly facilities of Madame Dejerine. ...
... 6 Marie disfavored the Dejerine couple, as both were Vulpian's students, had no neurological training at the Salpêtrière, and Marie opposed the ideas on aphasia localization that the Dejerines defended. [1][2][3]5,6,10,14,[16][17][18] In addition to professional rivalries, there is unproven evidence that antagonism of social classes played a role in this schism, since Pierre Marie was from the French bourgeoisie, upper middle class, married to a woman from a wealthy family, while Dejerine was related to modest peasants from Switzerland. 3,5,6,11,14,15 After her expulsion, Madame Dejerine-Klumpke was aided by her friend Maurice Letulle (1853-1929), Pierre Marie's successor to the chair of pathological anatomy, who stored her collection in his department. ...
Augusta Dejerine-Klumpke was ahead of her time, with extensive contributions to the field of neuroanatomy and neurology, achieving international recognition. Despite her great contribution to world neurology, she was expelled from the Salpêtrière hospital in 1917, due to the rivalry and mutual hatred between Pierre Marie and his rival Jules Déjerine, her husband and collaborator.
Resumo
Augusta Dejerine-Klumpke era uma pessoa à frente de seu tempo, com extensas contribuições para o campo da neuroanatomia e neurologia, alcançando reconhecimento internacional. Apesar de sua grande contribuição para a neurologia mundial, ela foi expulsa do hospital Salpêtrière em 1917, devido à grande rivalidade e ódio mútuo entre Pierre Marie e seu rival Jules Dejerine.
... Pierre Marie was born in Paris, France, in 1853 and died in 1940, at the age of 86 years, in his estate near Cannes, France (Fig. 1). Marie made extraordinary contributions to the field, with landmark descriptions of neuropathological entities, including hereditary motor and sensitive neuropathy known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; heredodegenerative forms of cerebellar ataxia, known as Marie's ataxia; as well as studies in the area of hysteria [3,5,8,9]. Other important contributions by Marie were made in the field of internal medicine, with the pioneering descriptions of acromegaly, Basedow-Graves' disease, and paraneoplastic hypertrophic osteroatropathy, in addition to ankylosing spondylitis [3,5,8,9]. ...

Jules Joseph Dejerine was born in 1849, in Geneva, Switzerland, to French parents and died in Paris in 1917 at age of 67 years (Fig. 2) [3,5]. Like Marie, Dejerine had a prolific academic career in the field of neurology, with breakthrough publications that explored the localization of brain function, delving into the area of neuroanatomy and semiology of disorders of the nervous system. ...
In no country has the duel prevailed to such a great extent as in France where the matter of dueling and affairs of honor were of frequent occurrence until the 20th century. The term duel has since been established for any contest between 2 persons or parties, be they sporting, intellectual, political, or in other matters. Despite their worldwide recognition and great scientific production, Pierre Marie and Jules Dejerine became rivals at the end of the 19th century. While Marie defended Charcot's neurological school at Salpêtrière Hospital, Dejerine had his own neurology school to contend. The fierce antagonism between them materialized to the verge of a real death duel in 1892 and later to an intellectual duel in the famous debate about aphasias, held in Paris in 1908.

INTRODUCTION: During the last quarter of the XIX century, Paris, France, particularly the Salpêtrière Hospital was the most important centre of reference of Clinical Neurology in the world.

OBJECTIVE: In this historical review, we present and locate the addresses of the houses of these famous Parisian neurologists from the late XIX century. DISCUSSION: At that time, Charcot and the triumvirate of his most famous pupils, Pierre Marie, Joseph Babinski and Gilles de la Tourette, lived in different streets of Paris, predominantly in a small cluster in the districts known as 7éme and 8émearrondissements (7th and 8th neighbourhoods). Professor Charcot lived in different streets and arrondissements of Paris, including the Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, Paris IX; Cité de Trévise, Paris IX; Avenue du Coq, Paris IX; l'Hôtel de Chimay, Quai Malaquais Paris; and finally his most famous address at the Boulevard Saint-Germain, 217 (previously l'Hôtel de Varangeville), in the Faubourg Saint-Germain, Paris VII. (1884). CONCLUSION: The best urban organization in Paris provided an interaction between Charcot and other privileged minds of his day. We were remembering and visiting, as a "Flaneur Neurologique in Paris", the addresses of the houses of these famous and outstanding Parisian neurologists from the late XIX century.
... Following Charcot's death his mansion was sold to Alfred Edwards, who was Jeanne Charcot's husband. Therefore his son-in-law -this mansion is currently used as the ''Maison de l'Amérique Latine" [2] 3. Pierre Marie at Rue de Lille Pierre Marie (1853-1940) (Fig. 3) was a prominent member of the French neurological world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and he is considered one of the most outstanding of Charcot's pupils, as well as his favourite, and clearly his most aggressive defender [1,2,8,9]. Marie's contributions to Neurology and Internal Medicine include the description of the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; hereditary cerebellar ataxia, known as Marie's ataxia; a sporadic idiopathic cerebellar ataxia with late-onset known as Marie-Foix-Alajouanine's disease; acromegaly or ''maladie de Marie"; and ankylosing spondylitis [8,9].

... The urban and social development of Paris was one of the factors that brought Charcot closer to his influencers and his students. At that time, Charcot and his most triumvirate of favourite pupils -Pierre Marie, Joseph Babinski and Gilles de la Tourette -lived in different streets of Paris, predominantly in the districts (''Arrondissements") known as Paris VII and VIII (Fig. 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].

Introduction:
During the last quarter of the XIX century, Paris, France, particularly the Salpêtrière Hospital was the most important centre of reference of Clinical Neurology in the world. The group based on the Salpêtrière Hospital, led by Professor Charcot, who was arguably the most celebrated neurologist in Europe.
Objective:
In this historical review, we present and locate the addresses of the houses of these famous Parisian neurologists from the late XIX century.
Discussion:
At that time, Charcot and the triumvirate of his most famous pupils, Pierre Marie, Joseph Babinski and Gilles de la Tourette, lived in different streets of Paris, predominantly in a small cluster in the districts known as 7éme and 8émearrondissements (7th and 8th neighbourhoods). Professor Charcot lived in different streets and arrondissements of Paris, including the Rue du Faubourg Poissonnière, Paris IX; Cité de Trévise, Paris IX; Avenue du Coq, Paris IX; l'Hôtel de Chimay, Quai Malaquais Paris; and finally his most famous address at the Boulevard Saint-Germain, 217 (previously l'Hôtel de Varangeville), in the Faubourg Saint-Germain, Paris VII. (1884).
Conclusion:
The best urban organization in Paris provided an interaction between Charcot and other privileged minds of his day. We were remembering and visiting, as a "Flaneur Neurologique in Paris", the addresses of the houses of these famous and outstanding Parisian neurologists from the late XIX century.
... He also studied the aphasias and foreign accent syndrome 4,5,6,7 . Marie belonged to Charcot's inner circle and was known for his unusual behavior and taste for controversy and debate [4][5][6][7] . Although mostly an introvert, Marie was, at times, unstable and aggressive, even combative, which proved to be a disadvantage in his highly productive career 4,5,6,7 . ...
... After Charcot's death, Marie had an intense, aggressive competition with his rival, the famous neurologist Jules Dejerine 4 . The climax of this competition was the famous debate known as the Paris aphasia debate, which took place in Paris in 1908 6,7 . ...
At the pinnacle of his career, Professor Charcot had four secretaries: Charles Féré, Pierre Marie, Georges Gilles de la Tourette and Georges Guinon. They helped the great founder of neurology with his activities at La Salpêtrière Hospital and his private clinic, examining patients before he made the final diagnosis.
In this manuscript we pay a tribute to Pierre Marie (1853-1940), highlighting his great contribution to medicine and neurology describing several diseases and syndromes. We mainly emphasize aspects of his personal life and personality traits. Considered one of the three greatest neurologists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, his brilliant career began at La Salpêtrière, followed by the development of a neurological school at Hospice Bicêtre. Pierre Marie had numerous disciples around the world, including Brazil, and published on various neurological and endocrinological themes. Back to La Salpêtrière, he concluded his professional life as a Neurology leader. However, after retirement, his demise was sad and lonely
