Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 144 pp; 54 text figures. Original cloth. Upper corners of covers, and pages, bumped. First Edition, First Printing. SIGNED BY DEREK DENNY-BROWN: "To Bill Bean/ -- No aphorisms worth quoting/ in this, I fear. But you may/ be interested in the approach to/ the problem. With best wishes/ Denny." The first printing has the date 1962 printed on the title page, and does not have any statement of printing on the verso of the title page. Oxford Neurological Monographs. ABOUT THE RECIPIENT: Bill Bean was William Bennett Bean, the editor of "Sir William Osler Aphorisms, from His Teachings and Writings. Collected by Robert Bennett Bean and Edited by William Bennett Bean" (1950). Robert Bennett Bean had been a resident under William Osler at Johns Hopkins in the years 1903-04 and 1904-05, during which time he made notes of Osler's sayings during rounds. Denny-Brown's use of the word "aphorisms" in his inscription to Bill Bean is a clear reference to the book by father and son Bean about William Osler's "aphorisms". Signed by Author(s).

Proc. Roy. Soc. B, 100. - London, Harrison and Sons, 1926, 8°, pp.448-462, orig. wrappers. Offprint! "Studying spinal reflexes Camis (1910) from observations on M. semitendinosus (cat) reached the conclusions that " the cells of a spinal motor centre ca be regarded from a functional point of view as divided into several independent groups," but that "such independence is however not absolute." The present experiments pursue a like inquiry. That in a reflex evoked by weak excitation of the afferent nerve the resulting contraction of the muscle may involve a portion only of the muscle has common acceptance. Camis's observations, however, employed maximal stimuli and yet the muscle evidenced fractional responses ; whereas later (3) Dreyer and one of us found, contrary to previous experience, that reflex tetani in some instances activated the sum-total of the muscle. Both of these observations are confirmed by the present experiments. Cooper, et al. Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952) was a British neurophysiologist. His experimental research established many aspects of contemporary neuroscience, including the concept of the spinal reflex as a system involving connected neurons (the "neuron doctrine"), and the ways in which signal transmission between neurons can be potentiated or depotentiated. Sherrington himself coined the word "synapse" to define the connection between two neurons. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1932 (along with Edgar Adrian). In addition to his work in physiology, Sherrington did research in histology, bacteriology, and pathology. Sybil Cooper (1900-1970), was a British physiologist. "She became a research assistant upon graduation to Edgar Adrian, studying nerve and muscle physiology, before receiving her Ph.D in 1927. Cooper then became a research student and then a research fellow at St Hilda's College, Oxford with the physiologist Charles Scott Sherrington while working as a demonstrator in anatomy for the University of Oxford. During this time, she married R. S. Creed in 1933; he was a demonstrator in physiology. She resigned her position in 1934 and had the first of her four children the following year. Able to afford household help, she took an unpaid position as a lecturer in natural science at St. Hilda's in 1940 and received a paid position as a research fellow there in 1946 that she maintained until her retirement in 1968. She collaborated with her husband on muscle reflexes before and after the birth of her children. "Demonstrating great ability in dissecting minute sense organs with intact nerves, she recorded nerve activity. As an excellent histologist, Cooper fixed, stained, and examined the microstructure of the sense organs. Alone and with colleagues, she made advances in understanding how the muscle spindles functioned relative to their structure"."
