   Pierre Paul Broca born (28-6-1824)

   From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz   
      
   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".
