Épernay () is a commune in the Marne department of northern France, 130 km north-east of Paris on the mainline railway to Strasbourg. The town sits on the left bank of the Marne at the extremity of the Cubry valley which crosses it. Épernay is a sub-prefecture of the department and seat of an arrondissement. History Épernay () belonged to the archbishops of Reims from the 5th until the 10th century, when it came into the possession of the counts of Champagne. It was badly damaged during the Hundred Years' War, and was burned by Francis I in 1544.

Guillaume Ferrus
Guillaume-Marie-André Ferrus (2 September 1784 – 23 March 1861) was a French psychiatrist born in Château-Queyras, near Briançon, Hautes-Alpes. He was a student of Philippe Pinel (1745–1826), and for much of his career was associated with the Bicêtre Hospital in a suburb of Paris. He was one of the founders of Société Médico-Psychologique, and was its first president (1852–53). In 1835 he was appointed inspector-general of mental institutions. With Pinel and Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol (1772–1840), Ferrus was a major force regarding reform of insane asylums in early and mid-19th century France. He founded ''La Ferme Sainte-Anne'', which was an innovative agricultural project designed as work therapy for mental patients. Ferrus believed that the vast majority of mental illnesses were due to a physical disorder, even if the problem was not anatomically apparent. This viewpoint led to bitter disputes with physicians such as François Leuret François Leuret ...

Jacques-Étienne Belhomme
Jacques-Étienne Belhomme (29 January 1800 – 16 February 1880) was a French psychiatrist who was a native of Paris. He was the son of carpenter Jacques Belhomme (1737–1824), who managed a ''maison de santé'' (Pension Belhomme) for the insane on Rue de Charonne in Paris. Belhomme studied medicine in Paris, and worked under Jean-Étienne Dominique Esquirol (1772–1840) at the Salpêtrière. His 1824 dissertation, ''Essai sur l´idiotie'' was one of the earliest works dedicated to the education of the mentally handicapped. After his father's death in 1824, he inherited the elder Belhomme's ''maison de santé''. Belhomme was a leading figure in French phrenology, and believed that insanity could be anatomically localized in certain regions of the brain. In 1839 he became secretary of the ''Société phrénologique''. Publications by Belhomme include: * ''Considerations sur l'appreciation de la folie, sa localisation et son traitement'', 1834 * ''Quatrième Mémoire sur la loc ...

General Paralysis Of The Insane
General paresis, also known as general paralysis of the insane (GPI), paralytic dementia, or syphilitic paresis is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder, classified as an organic mental disorder and is caused by late-stage syphilis and the chronic meningoencephalitis and cerebral atrophy that are associated with this late stage of the disease when left untreated. GPI differs from mere paresis, as mere paresis can result from multiple other causes and usually does not affect cognitive function. Degenerative changes caused by GPI are associated primarily with the frontal and temporal lobar cortex. The disease affects approximately 7% of individuals infected with syphilis, and is far more common in third world countries where fewer options for timely treatment are available. It is more common among men. GPI was originally considered to be a type of madness due to a dissolute character, when first identified in the early 19th century. The condition's connection with syphilis was di ...

People From Marne (department)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
