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".
