Item description from seller

Arch. Sci. Biol. 12/1. - Bottazzi Birthday Volume. - Napoli, Prem. Stab. Tib. N. Jovene E.C., 1928, 8°, 7 pp., orig. wrappers. Offprint! "The theme on which I would offer some remarks in contribution to this volume dedicated to our esteemed colleague, Prof. Filippo Bottazzi, the distinguished founder of this Archivio, is that of some recent study of mammalian reflexes. Improvement in miographic registration allows observations more truly quantitative than hitherto. Pure isometric reactions recorded with minimization of inertia and momentum provide data significant for interpretation; the " all-or-none " principle established by Keith Lucas, Adrian, Pratt, and others for skeletal muscle, and by Forbes, Kato, and others for its nerve-fibres allows numerical data regarding the motor units reflexly involved. This renders possible some further penetration into the little known central region of the reflex mechanism itself. A glimpse is obtained at the functional behaviour of that element of the centre, the motoneurone-aggregate of the particular individual muscle which the myograph indexes; and the glimpse is to some extent a quantitative one." Sherrington 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.…
