Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs on the Physiology of Nerve, of Muscle and of the Electrical Organ Hering rejects this theory on the ground that the changes of which positive polarisation' is the expression, have their seat exclusively at the anode, and explains the experimental facts used by du Bois in proof of 'internal polarisation' (that is of a polarisation affecting all traversed structures, and consisting in the coming into existence of electromotive forces all along the line of flow, and not merely at anodes or cathodes), on the sup position that he employs structures in which, in consequence of their heterogeneity, such sudden transitions from less to greater density occur in the course of the current-paths, that the effects of anodes are produced. On the assumption that positive polari sation has its seat at the anode exclusively, he has no difficulty in referring what is observed to the well-recognised facts (1) that the effect of Opening a current led through a muscle or nerve is to produce excitation at the anode; and (2) that the characteristic expression of the excitatory state is negativity; and accordingly, while recognising the essential relation of the change in question to the functional activity of the organ in which it manifests itself, he prefers to speak of it as 'anodic after efl'ect' rather than as positive polarisation.'

This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology, Vol. 1 As indicator I have used, not the mechanical, but the electrical response of a muscle recording on a photographic plate, moving at a known and equable rate, the movement imparted to the meniscus of the capillary electrometer the moment an electrical change occurs at a spot connected with this instrument. The fact that the electrical response in the organ, as well as its manifestation in the recording instrument, occurs without any delay as soon as the recording spot is reached, and that it is not necessary for the whole muscle to be implicated before a record can be obtained, obviates what seems to me to be the principal objection to Wundt's experiments. The electrical response has the further advantage over the mechanical response, for the measurement of brief time intervals between different events occurring in a muscle, that the effect not only begins without delay, but, when in existence, outlasts the stimulus (which, either directly or indirectly, produces it) by a so much shorter time. A second effect, therefore, occurring in the muscle only a few thousandths of a second after a first, would have quite a distinct manifestation when recorded by such an instrument as the capillary electrometer, whereas in the record of the contraction of the muscle two such effects would be merged into one. This being so, there should be no difficulty in recording on the same photographic plate, and measuring the time interval between, the two electrical effects produced at one and the same spot of the muscle in response to simultaneous excitation of efferent and afferent nerve respectively; nor is there any such difficulty, provided that the cord is sufficiently sensitive for an effectual response to be obtained from it at all when the stimulus applied to the afferent nerve is single and instan taneous, as for the purpose in hand it must be.

Download or read book Nervous Force Its Origin and Physiology Classic Reprint written by William Cary Barrett and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nervous Force: Its Origin and Physiology Of the manner in which nerve force is eliminated we know little, but that it is in some way through the nerve centres we are convinced. Experiment has proved this, and at the same time established the fact of its close correlation to the other forces. When the nerve centers are destroyed or paralyzed, not only is the production of nerve force stopped, but the body quickly cools. Upon sending a current of electricity along the course of the nerves, the bodily heat or temperature rises, so closely are these forces connected. If an organic body be deprived of light, not only is nervous force diminished, but the temperature is lowered. We have all known persons whose hair during conditions of nervous excitement would stand on end, and from whom at such times could be drawn distinct electric shocks. I know a man who, by inducing a restless, agitated nervous state in favorable atmospheric condition, can light a gas jet by simply holding his finger tip to the burner. These states are always succeeded by nervous depression, undoubtedly due to a loss of nervous power. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of Nerve Functions written by Sidney Ochs and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-19 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments have extended our knowledge of the basic functions of nerves: notably, the demonstration of the mechanism within nerve fibers which transports a wide range of essential materials. In order to understand how this discovery occurred, it is necessary to examine its history. The story begins in ancient Greece when nerves were conceived of as channels through which animal spirits carried sensory impressions to the brain. As science developed, the discoveries of various physical and chemical agents supplanted the agency of animal spirits until the molecular machinery of transport was recognized. In this fascinating and complete history, Sidney Ochs begins with a chronological look at this path of discovery, followed in the second half by a thematic approach wherein the author describes the electrical nature of the nerve impulse, fiber form and its changes in degeneration and regeneration, reflexes, learning, memory and other higher functions in which transport participates.
