Revue neurologique
journal
The Revue neurologique (Neurological Review) is a French neurological and psychiatric medical journal. It was established in 1893 with Jean-Martin Charcot as adviser. Today it is the official journal of the Société Française de Neurologie (French Neurology Society). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2016 impact factor of 1.039.
The monthly journal became the main periodical in France devoted to psychiatry and nervous diseases. It was made the official journal of the Société de Neurologie de Paris when the society was founded in 1899. It gradually displaced the quarterly Archives de Neurologie, publishing original articles by prominent French neurologists such as Charcot, Joseph Jules Dejerine, Édouard Brissaud and Fulgence Raymond, as well as work from foreign researchers including Charles Scott Sherrington of Great Britain, Alexander E. Scherbak of Russia, and João Baptista de Lacerda of Argentine. In November 1901 the Revue Neurologique published a report by Ladislav Haškovec of Prague describing two cases of akathisia. The journal also published summary articles that went into great detail on a particular topic.

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Revue neurologique” is journal. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Revue, neurologique and journal, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “journal” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7318987. VIAF identifies the subject as 217487323. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1893, 2016, 1899 and 1901.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
