Transcripts of the Tuesday Lessons at La Salpêtrière Hospital show that Jean-Martin Charcot often asked his patients about their family history. The information gathered on patients' heredity played also a significant role in the diagnostic reasoning he instructed his students in. Again and again, he included in his teachings the concept of degeneration to suggest an etiology for observed pathologies. This article analyzes the origin of Charcot's knowledge, imparted in the Tuesday Lessons, by examining the theories of heredity and degeneration successively developed by Prosper Lucas (1808-1885) in 1847, Bénédict-Auguste Morel (1809-1873) in 1857, and Jacques-Joseph Moreau de Tours (1804-1884) in 1859. I will review examples taken from the Tuesday Lessons to illustrate how Charcot assimilated the ideas of these alienists. Two of his students, Charles Féré (1852-1907) and Georges Gilles de la Tourette (1857-1904), known for championing their master's work, went on to publish their own books that developed theories of heredity and degeneration. I will conclude my review, which aims to examine a little known facet of Charcot's work, with a few examples from these authors' writings.
巴黎萨尔佩特里埃医院周二课程的记录显示，让-马丁·沙可经常询问他的患者有关其家族史的信息。患者遗传信息的收集在他指导学生进行诊断推理时也起着重要作用。他一次又一次地将退化的概念纳入他的教学中，以提出观察到的病理学的病因。本文通过依次检查 Prosper Lucas（1808-1885）于 1847 年、Bénédict-Auguste Morel（1809-1873）于 1857 年和 Jacques-Joseph Moreau de Tours（1804-1884）于 1859 年分别发展的遗传和退化理论，分析了周二课程中沙可传授的知识的起源。我将从周二课程中选取一些例子来说明沙可如何吸收这些精神病学家的思想。他的两位学生，Charles Féré（1852-1907）和 Georges Gilles de la Tourette（1857-1904），以支持他们的老师的工作而闻名，他们继续出版了自己的书籍，提出了遗传和退化的理论。我将以这些作者著作中的一些例子结束我的评论，旨在考察沙可工作的一个鲜为人知的方面。
