French physician, anatomist and anthropologist
Linguists learn his name because "Broca's area" is one of the bits of
the brain that are understood to be important for language. Broca
noticed that patients with aphasia often had lesions in this part of the
left frontal cortex. "This was the first anatomical proof of
localization of brain function." (Wiki)
His term for the expressive aphasia his patients suffered was "aphémie".
