Book First Edition
Paris und Strasburg, bey Treuttel und Würz, 1809, 8°, X, (2), 467, (1), 1 gefalt. Kupfertafel, Kalbsledereinband der Zeit mit Rückenvergoldung aus der Bibliothek von Friedrich VI, König von Dänemark und Norwegen; St.a.Tit.; feines Expl. Erste Ausgabe, gleichzeitig mit der französischen Ausgabe "Recherches sur le systeme nerveux en general, et sur celui du cerveau in particulier" erschienen! "Wir machen bey dieser Gelegenheit bekannt, dass wir die Anatomie und Physiologie des Gehirns, heftweise, teutsch, und französisch herauszugeben entschlossen sind." Die Verfasser (Gall & Spurzheim) Franz Joseph Gall (1758-1828) and Johann Caspar Spurzheim's (1776-1832) first joint publication was this memoir on the anatomy of the brain and nervous system, which they submitted to a committee of the Institut de France (chaired by psychiatrist Philippe Pinel) in 1808. In 1810 the Recherches was republished as part of the first volume of Gall and Spurzheim's Anatomie et physiologie du système nerveux (1810-12), the work that introduced the theory of localization of cerebral function. "Beginning in 1800, with the assistance of Spurzheim, Gall made a number of important neuro-anatomical discoveries . . . The unifying theme in his neuroanatomical work was the conception of the nervous system as a hierarchically ordered series of separate by interrelated ganglia designed on a unified plan. Higher structures developed from lower ones, receiving reinforcement from other nerve pathways along the way. . . [Gall] also discovered the origins of the first eight cranial nerves and traced the fibers of the medulla oblongata to the basal ganglia. In the cerebellum he described the systems of fibers now known as projection and commissural. In the cerebral cortex he finally established the contralateral decussation of the pyramids and drew attention to the detailed anatomy of the convolutions. Gall and Spurzheim's investigations gave considerable impetus to the study of neuroanatomy, and both their findings and their general conceptions proved very important when they were later integrated with an evolutionary view of the nervous system and with the neuron theory" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography). McHenry, in Garrison's History of Neurology, notes that "Gall and Spurzheim established the fact that the white matter of the brain consists of nerve fibers and that the gray matter of the cerebral cortex represents the organs of mental activity. They were the first to demonstrate that the trigeminal nerve was not merely attached to the pons, but that it sent its root fibers as far down as the inferior olive in the medulla." Here they introduced in print the idea of the cerebrum as a collection of organs with different psychological functions, and focused the attention on the functions of the cerebral cortex. Broca regarded Gall's work on phrenology as "the starting point for every discovery in cerebral physiology in our century". The phrenological doctrine, with its suggestion of localization of the functions of the brain, gave a great impetus to the neurological sciences." The first publication of importance is the mémoire presented by Gall and Spurzheim as candidates for election to the Institute de France: Recherches. 1809 (the item offered). The mémoire was presented on March 14, 1808, and a committee of five, including Pinel, with Cuvier as chairman, was appointed to examine the researches and the doctrine. Whether Napoleon actually interfered is nor certain, although it is plain that he was opposed to the doctrine. Cuvier's long negative report of fifty-two pages is cautious and conservative, and shows that his commitee realized that it was dealing with a difficult and controversial matter." Edwin G. Boring.
