Sinopsis

An Elementary Study of the Brain is a scientific book written by Eben Winslow Fiske in 1913. The book is based on the dissection of the brain of a sheep and provides an elementary study of the human brain. It covers the anatomy and physiology of the brain, including the structure and functions of the different parts of the brain. The book is intended for students and beginners in the field of neuroscience who want to gain a basic understanding of the brain. The author uses simple language and easy-to-follow illustrations to explain complex concepts. The book also includes a glossary of terms and a bibliography for further reading. An Elementary Study of the Brain is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of the brain and its functions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

The introduction into the purely academic curriculum of an anatomical study of the brain, even aa a higher coarse in zoology, presents many difficulties both to student and instructor. I ts presentation, as differing from that in the professional school, must be necessarily of an elementary character a necessity offering many obstacles with a subject which is essentially advanced. In the preparation of a textbook for such a course, neither the complexities of cerebral structure, nor the confusion of the associated nomenclature, can be successfully evaded. Yet the average academic student, only too often possessed of no especial intei est in this department of science, is not only unschooled in anatomical research and terminology, but is likewise wholly unfamiliar with the principles upon which they are based. To avoid these difficulties, as far as practicable, has been, then, the underlying motive in providing for the beginner this very simple introduction to the anatomy of the human brain, using the brain of the sheep, because of its general availability, relative simplicity, and practical identity to that of mau, as the subject for dissection and the basis for comparison. The advantages of actual dissection are obvious ;the book is, primarily, a laboratory manual for the student himself. It is designed, -however, to be rather more than a manual to be, if possible, a unit study of the brain, of a strictly elementary nature. To this end the subject has been approached largely from the biological standpoint, not only in the chapters briefly reviewing the development of the brain in the race and in the human individual, but by constant reference throughout to the more fundamental conceptions of nervous structure and evolution.
