The excerpt is from Finger and Roe's (1996) paper about Gustave Dax, who was Marc Dax's son.

Before Broca got big, the general belief was that the brain looked so perfectly symmetrical, there was simply no way each side of the brain could be doing different things.

Here is a translated excerpt I found while researching for my thesis. This was written by Louis Francisque Lelut in 1864 in response to a paper by Marc Dax (the *actual* first person to realise that language lives in left hemisphere).

You're right, Lelut. The brain is even more mysterious.

The lovely folks at the #ACNS2024 conference have convinced me that bsky is the new hotness, so I figured I should join too. I apologise in advance for the unsolicited opinions about sport!
