Born in Ireland, Francis Martin Rouse Walshe studied medicine at University College Hospital. He subsequently practised there and at the National Hospital, Queen Square, London. Early associations with Wilfred Trotter and Sir Victor Horsley encouraged his career in Neurology. Walshe pioneered the descriptive analysis of human reflexes in physiological terms. His flare and outstanding brilliance were rewarded when he was appointed Physician to the National Hospital, Queen Square in 1921 and at University College Hospital in 1924. He published, mainly in Brain (which he edited for many years), weighty papers on the function of the cerebral cortex in relation to movements, and on neural physiology. Walshe is also remembered for his powers of literacy and stringent scientific criticism, which he often displayed with magnificent panache.
弗朗西斯·马丁·劳斯·沃尔什出生于爱尔兰，在大学学院医院学习医学。随后，他在那里以及伦敦女王广场的国立医院行医。早年与威尔弗雷德·特罗特和维克多·霍斯利爵士的交往推动了他在神经学领域的职业生涯。沃尔什率先从生理学角度对人类反射进行描述性分析。1921年他被任命为女王广场国立医院的内科医生，1924年又在大学学院医院任职，他的才华和卓越成就得到了认可。他主要在《大脑》（他多年担任该杂志编辑）上发表了关于大脑皮层与运动相关功能以及神经生理学的重要论文。沃尔什还因其文学才华和严谨的科学批评而被人们铭记，他常常以非凡的风度展现这些特质。
