"In addition to its great simplicity this definition has still another advantage, namely, that it is satisfied by a single experiment; because of the two elements of which the definition is made up, one element is always given anatomically. This is the higher sensory nerve, whose presence also vouches for its function. The one experiment that it is necessary to make has to prove that in addition to the sensory apparatus the general centre of movement also exists. The proof is then complete if the one-sided removal of the central nervous part so changes the direction of the movements of the animals that a circus-motion, which is generally known by the name forced movement, takes the place of a forward movement" (Steiner). This idea is likewise erroneous and easily leads to absurdity. Onesided destruction of the cerebral hemispheres in man produces no forced movements. Thus, according to Steiner, the cerebral hemispheres should not belong to the brain. Second, according to Steiner, the ear must be a brain. One-sided lesion of the ear is sure to produce forced movements in a series of animals, and, moreover, the auditory nerve is a higher sensory nerve. I have mentioned this subject at this place because it is a typical illustration of what plays on words in physiology lead to. It is not our task to find a definition for the word brain, but to gain an insight into the functions of the central nervous system. It is of minor importance what name we give to the different parts of the central nervous system. In connection with this chapter we wish to call attention to the more recent experiments of Sherring-ton and H. E. Hering, from which it seems to follow that with the innervation of a muscle the relaxation of...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Physiology of the Brain and Comparative Psychology: An One-Act Comedy in Verse It is the purpose of this book to serve as a short introduction to the comparative physiology of the brain and of the central nervous system. Physiology has thus far been essentially the physiology of Vertebrates. I am convinced, however, that for the establishment of the laws of life-phenomena a broader basis is necessary. Such a basis can be furnished only by a comparative physiology which includes all classes of the animal kingdom. My experience in the course on comparative physiology at Wood's Holl seems to indicate that the transition from the old to the comparative physiology can be most readily accomplished through the physiology of the central nervous system. The physiology of the brain has been rendered unnecessarily difficult through the fact that meta-physicians have at all times concerned themselves with the interpretation of brain functions and have introduced such metaphysical conceptions as soul, consciousness, will, etc. One part of the work of the physiologist must consist in the substitution of real physiological processes for these inadequate conceptions.

Download or read book Brain and Mind written by David A. Oakley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between brain and mind is one of the most baffling problems in science but potentially one of the most interesting. First published in 1985, this collection of original essays traces the development of mind in animals and human beings from its origins in the evolution of larger brains with a capacity for creating mental models of the environment. Examples are given of the way in which the brain may use this increased capacity to represent both the physical and social worlds, and the authors suggest that this type of mental activity might underly what human beings recognize in themselves as ‘awareness’ or ‘consciousness’. Brain and Mind brings together much of the latest research and provides a useful framework for the study of this increasingly important subject. The contributors are experts in a wide range of disciplines and draw their conclusions from a broad base of clinical and experimental evidence. Students of psychology, zoology, anatomy, medicine and philosophy, as well as anyone who has wondered about their own mind and its relation to the brain, will find this a fascinating and stimulating source.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977, the objective of this book was to examine the mechanisms by which the multiple factors or determinants – homeostatic deficits, hormonal influences, circadian rhythms, experiential and cognitive factors – become translated by the central nervous system into thermoregulatory, feeding, sexual, aggressive, and other behaviours. A conceptual framework has been used that reflects relevant contributions from biology, regulatory physiology, physiological psychology, and other neuroscience disciplines. The final chapter deals with difficulties in brain-behaviour research in relation to experimental strategies and with crucial problems for future investigation.
Download or read book Neurobiology of Comparative Cognition written by Raymond P. Kesner and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents a unique and elaborate exposition of the neural organization of language, memory, and spatial perception in a wide variety of species including humans, bees, fish, rodents, and monkeys. The editors have united the comparative approach with its emphasis on evolutionary determinants of behavior, the neurobiological approach with its emphasis on the neural determinants of behavior, and the cognitive approach with its emphasis on understanding higher-order mental functions. The combination of these three approaches provides an unusual look at the neurobiology of comparative cognition, and should stimulate increased investigations in this field and related disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Comparative Physiology and Psychology: A Discussion of the Evolution and Relations of the Mind and Body of Man and Animals Some of the original ideas contained in this book have appeared in scientific and medical publications, such as the American Naturalist and Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry, during the past five years, as the author presented the papers containing them to biological, microscopical, medical and general scientific societies. In their condensed form, herein, the separate theses are revised and amended in conformity with more recent psychological and anatomical research. About eleven years ago the plan for these investigations was formed and has since been consistently pursued through most discouraging difficulties. All the notes accumulated could not be compressed into a volume of this size, and the author was compelled to content himself with including enough of the mental operations of man to fairly illustrate the comparative method, which will again be applied especially to the mechanism of the mind of man in a forthcoming work to be entitled "Psychology." Personally made studies of savages, infants, and all classes of men living in so-called civilized communities, with his published and unpublished clinical and pathological reports of cases of insanity enable the author to advantageously review the literature of psychology and psychiatry.
