Jean Pierre Flourens
Marie Jean Pierre Flourens (13 April 1794 – 6 December 1867), father of Gustave Flourens, was a French physiologist, the founder of experimental brain science and a pioneer in anesthesia. Through the study of ablations on animals, he was the first to prove that the mind was located in the brain, not the heart.
Peter Milner
Peter Milner (13 June 1919 – 2 June 2018) was a Canadian neuroscientist. He was the husband of Dr. Brenda Milner.
Born in Yorkshire, England, Milner worked at the British Air Defence Research and Development Establishment before moving to Canada in 1944. He was an electrical engineer, but became interested in neuroscience while Brenda was studying the subject at McGill University; he became a graduate student under the same supervisor as she, and later taught at McGill himself. In collaboration with James Olds, he is credited with the discovery of the brain's pleasure centre in 1954.
