[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting|You can help!]] {{Unreferenced|date=December 2007}} '''Jean Alexandre Barré''' ([[May 25]], [[1880]] – [[April 26]], [[1967]]), [[France|French]] [[neurologist]], worked in [[1916]] on the identification of the [[Guillain-Barré syndrome]]. He is also credited with the ''Barré test'', which may identify "pyramidal drift". This test is performed by making the patient stretch out his hands with the palms to the top, and requesting him to close his eyes. If one hand drops involuntarily, the test indicates damage to the [[pyramidal tract]]. {{France-med-bio-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Barré, Jean Alexandre}} [[Category:Eponyms]] [[Category:1880 births]] [[Category:1967 deaths]] [[Category:French neurologists]] [[fr:Jean Alexandre Barré]] [[pt:Jean Alexandre Barré]] [[de:Jean Alexandre Barré]] [[sv:Jean Alexandre Barré]]
