Synopsis
How do we become aware of things and events in the outside world, and how does the brain control the muscular system and behavior? This book examines the history of Western attempts to explain how messages might be sent from the sense organs to the brain and from the brain to the muscles. It focuses on a construct called animal spirit, which would permeate philosophy and guide physiology and medicine for over two millennia.The authors' story opens along the Eastern Mediterranean, where they examine how Pre-Socratic philosophers related the soul to air-wind or pneuma. They then trace what Hippocrates, Plato and Aristotle wrote about this pneuma, and how Stoic and Epicurean philosophers approached it. They also visit Alexandria, where Hellenistic anatomists provided new thoughts about the nerves and the ventricles. Thereafter, the authors return to the Greek mainland, where they show how Galen's pneuma psychikon or spiritus animae would provide an explanation for sensations and movements.Galen's writings would guide science and medicine for well over a thousand years, albeit with some modifications. One change, found in early Christian writers Nemesius and Augustine, involved assigning perception, cognition, and memory to different spirit-filled ventricles. After examining how pious Scholastics later dealt with the nerve spirit, the authors turn to how questions began to be raised about it in the 1500s and 1600s. Here they examine the rise of modern science with its revealing experiments, microscopic observations, and attempts to break with the past. Descartes, Swammerdam, Borelli, Glisson, Willis, Newton, Hartley, Boerhaave and Haller are among the featured players in this part of the story. Nevertheless, the animal spirit doctrine continued to survive (although modified), because no adequate replacement for it was immediately forthcoming. The replacement theory stemmed from experiments on electric fishes started in the 1750s. Additional research on these fishes and then on frogs eventually led scientists to abandon their time-honored ideas. The authors trace some of the developments leading to modern electrophysiology and end with an epilogue centered on what this history teaches us about paradigmatic changes in the life sciences., For millennia, the activity of the nervous system was believed to be due to indwelling animal spirit. This book describes the rise, development, apex, and slow decline of this idea, and its replacement by physicochemical theories of nerve conduction. It is a history of physiology and of the origins of neuroscience., How do we become aware of things and events in the outside world, and how does the brain control the muscular system and behavior?

- d***e (659)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufA++++++ excellent description, superior packaging, fast shipping!!
- c***y (6)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufGreat group of book at a good price! They were packed well and shipped fast too. Thank you for helping me stock my classroom library!
- k***c (3707)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufI don't usually leave negative feedback but my experience was bad enough where I felt the need to. Seller packaged my 3 items poorly so they all arrived damaged. I sent the buyer a message stating what happened and I received no answer. I had to open a return case and they was quick to accept it. The return delivered back to them and 6 days went by with no refund. I sent another message and once again, no answer. Had to open a case with Ebay to finally get my refund. Awful communicationAntwort von dahec74- Verkäufer dahec74 hat auf Bewertung reagiert.- Verkäufer dahec74 hat auf Bewertung reagiert.I normally do not respond to reviews. But honestly, we received these items back and they were in perfect condition, just as we sent them. I have been selling on multiple channels since 2005 and sometimes mistakes happen, as a seller, I always own the mistake, refund the sale, and move on. This is an unfair review. Hopefully our record of good sales speaks for itself.LEGO Ideas 21336 - The Office - New & Sealed w/ Excellent Packaging! (Nr. 387744487076)
