| Description | The role of Paul Broca (1824-1880) in uncovering the cerebral organization of language function is well known. His declaration, made after considerable clinical study that “we speak with the left hemisphere” has justly resulted in the eponymous naming of the left inferior frontal lobe.1 Less well known, however, are the contribu tions that Paul Broca made as a surgeon of the brain. These included methods for the scalp localization of cerebral convolutions, thermoencephalography, and, in 1871, the first craniotomy made on the basis of a localization of cerebral function.
