Résumé

This narrative review approaches four exceptional

neuroscientists whose lives embody the convergence of scientific innovation and artistic expression. Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893), William Richard Gowers (1845-1915), Harvey Williams Cushing (1869-1939), and Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) remain icons in the neurosciences. Not only did these four luminaries make groundbreaking advances in neuroscience, but they also possessed artistic abilities, especially Cajal. Their lives exemplify the harmony between scientific rigor and creative expression. Through their interdisciplinary talents, they illustrated how art and science are inextricably linked, enhancing their scientific endeavors through artistic skills. This article provides insight into the intriguing relationship between the arts and neuroscience, showing how these notable figures leveraged their artistic aptitude to advance scientific communication and understanding.
