  • 1824: Physician, anatomist, and anthropologist Paul Broca born. He will discover that the brains of patients suffering from aphasia contain lesions in a particular part of the cortex, in the left frontal region -- the first anatomical proof of the localization of brain function.

  • 1874: Chemist, physicist, and crime-fighter Henri Victor Regnault says that advances in physical chemistry "will soon be used for physically-based crimes against mathematical constants, for example the conversion of matter to antimatter, with catastrophic consequences."
