I whanau a Brown-Séquard i Port Louis, Mauritius, ki te papa Amerikana me te whaea French. I haere ia ki te Royal College i Mauritius, ka mutu i te rongoa i Paris i te 1846. I hoki ia ki Mauritius me te whakaaro ki te mahi i reira, engari i te 1852 ka haere ia ki te United States. I reira i tohua ia ki te kaitohutohu o te Medical College o Virginia i reira i whakahaerehia ai e ia nga whakamatautau i roto i te papa o te whare o Ihipa. Pātai: I neke atu a Brown-Sequard i muri tonu i tana whiwhi tohu rongoa.
