Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Functions of the Brain
While my primary object in this edition has been, as before, to give a detailed account of my own investigations, I have endeavoured to present to the reader a systematic exposition of the functions of the brain and central nervous system in accordance with what seem to me, after extensive and critical survey, the best established facts of recent physiological and pathological research.
The book has been almost entirely re-written; a good deal has been added and not a few modifications have been made, chiefly in matters of detail and methods of explanation. The principal doctrines formerly advocated in respect to the localisation of cerebral functions are maintained in all essentials unchanged.

Excerpt from The Functions of the Brain
There is, perhaps, no subject in physiology of greater importance and general interest than the functions of the brain, and there are few which present to experimental investigation conditions of greater intricacy and complexity. No one who has attentively studied the results of the labours of the numerous investigators in this field of research, can help being struck by the want of harmony, and even positive contradictions, among the conclusions which apparently the same experiments and the same facts have led to in different hands. And when the seemingly well-established facts of experimentation on the brains of the lower animals are compared with those of clinical observation and morbid anatomy in man, the discord between them is frequently so great as to lead many to the opinion that physiological investigation on the lower animals is little calculated to throw true light on the functions of the human brain. These discrepancies appear less unaccountable, when the methods of experimentation and the subjects of experiment are taken into consideration. Up to quite a recent date, the principal method pursued by investigators into the functions of the brain, consisted in observing the results following the destruction, by various means, of different parts of the encephalon.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of the author's investigations into the functions of the brain and central nervous system. These investigations build upon existing physiological and pathological research to provide a systematic exposition. The book has been almost entirely re-written, with additional topics and modifications. Although the work maintains the author's previously advocated localisations of cerebral functions, it also includes advancements, most notably in the analysis of specific sensory paths. The significance of the book lies in its collation and analysis of the brain's functions in relation to the rest of the central nervous system, helping to define the importance of both higher and lower nerve centres. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332013951_0
