An eminent scientist, recognized as one of the world's most prominent professors of neurology, Charcot was, in his time, both highly respected and chastised as a third-rate show-off. Charcot's scientific career was a continuous mixture of rigorous clinical neurology (including detailed descriptions of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, brain anatomy, etc.) and uncontrolled, controversial and sometimes even theatrical experiments in the field of hysteria. Charcot's fame was as much the result of the unquestionable quality of his scientific work as that of his theatrical presentations. These two inseparable and simultaneous aspects of his scientific career were the two roads that led Charcot and the Salpêtrière Hospital to the height of success in the second half of the nineteenth century.
夏科是一位杰出的科学家，被公认为世界上最杰出的神经学教授之一。在他那个时代，他既备受尊敬，又被指责为三流的爱炫耀之人。夏科的科学事业是严谨的临床神经学（包括对肌萎缩侧索硬化症、帕金森病、脑解剖学等的详细描述）与在癔症领域进行的不受控制、有争议甚至有时颇具戏剧性的实验的持续混合。夏科的声誉既源于他科学工作无可置疑的质量，也源于他的戏剧性展示。他科学事业中这两个不可分割且同时存在的方面，是引领夏科和萨尔佩特里埃医院在19世纪下半叶走向成功巅峰的两条道路。
