| Known as both a neurologist and a psychiatrist in his native France, Claude became a pioneer in describing syndromes of lesions in the brain stem. The Claude syndrome of ipsilateral oculomotor nerve paralysis and asynergia on the other side together with dysarthria is a major contribution as is Claude’s Hyperkinesis where there is reflex movements of paretic muscles elicited by painful stimuli. He also reported rarer manifestation of syndromes already described. |  |
