He is often remembered as having led the search for the lost Antarctic explorer, Amundsen. Like his father, Jean Baptiste was a member of the Medical Faculty of Paris and was interested in degenerative diseases of the neuromuscular system. This book, dedicated to his father, is a review of the studies previously done on neuromuscular atrophy, together with reports and summaries of Charcot's own research."].
