Title text: If an anatomical structure is named for a person, it means they were the only person to have it. Pierre Paul Broca had a special area of his brain that created powerful magnetic fields, enabling him to do 19th century fMRI research.

Reminds me of the irony that about half of all people have Fallopian tubes, but Gabriele Falloppio wasn't one of them.
