Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Conduction of the Nervous Impulse
In one sense it has been obvious from the first that the student Of the central nervous system has common interest with the investigator of peripheral nerve. One of the chief concerns of the latter is to discover the physico-chemical change which is the basis of conduction; and, as Sherrington has said, the intimate nature of conduction is a problem coextensive with the existence of nerve cells, and enters into every question regarding the specific reactions of the nervous system. But when the student of conduction in peripheral nerve leaves aside the physico-chemical theory of the nervous impulse and attempts merely to investigate in detail the phenomena of conduction, then it has seemed to many that his work becomes academic, and loses touch with the great human interests of the nervous system. Conduction in peripheral nerves is a rigid affair, seeming to lack just those features, Inhibition, Summation, Rhythm, After-discharge, which give to central conduction its flexibility and its means of adaptation to specific ends.

Excerpt from The Conduction of the Nervous Impulse
In no science is the advance at any one time general. Some sections of the line are pushed forward while other parts may remain for years with little movement, until in their turn they are enabled to progress in consequence of the support afforded by the advance of the adjacent sections. The increasing number of series of monographs in different sciences is a recognition of this fact, as well as of the concentration of interest which characterizes this age of specialization.
In the present series it is intended to set out the progress of physiology in those chapters in which the forward movement is the most pronounced. Each monograph will contain an account of our knowledge of some particular branch of physiology, written by one who has himself contributed in greater or less degree to the attainment of our present position. It is hoped that by securing the help of men who are actively engaged in the advance of the subject the outlook of each monograph will be forwards rather than backwards. An exhaustive account of previous writings on the subject concerned is not aimed at, but rather an appreciation of what is worth retaining in past work, so far as this is suggestive of the paths along which future research may be fruitful of results.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves deep into the underlying physiological principles of nerve impulses, a key component of neurological function. It explores the history of research in this area and examines how an electrical impulse propagates through a nerve fiber, covering topics such as the impact of stimulus intensity, decrement, and refractory periods. The author also ponders whether this process varies across different regions of the nervous system. This comprehensive text will be a valuable resource for physiologists and those interested in the fundamental mechanisms of nerve impulse conduction. 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: 9781332332311_0
