Pierre Flourens (1794–1867), a physician and biologist from Montpellier, is considered one of the founders of experimental neuroscience. His friendship with Georges Cuvier led him to join the National Museum of Natural History, where he taught human anatomy beginning in 1830 and then comparative physiology beginning in 1838.
