Bartholow was the third president of the American Neurological Association and Professor of Materia Medica and General Therapeutics at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. Bartholow was able, by using electrical apparatus, to obtain the same nerve and muscle reactions as had been formerly been seen using faradic currents. See GM 1406.1 for his 1874 paper on electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex in humans.
GM-5 644: "The first exhaustive treatise on electrophysiology." "A Bohemian by birth, BIedermann studied in Prague and remained there working with Hering until 1888, when he was appointed professor of physiology at the University of Jena to succeed the physiologist Wilhelm Preyer … [He] remained at Jena for almost forty years … and became well-known for his experimental work in electrophysiology and the analysis of amylolytic enzymes. Biedermann also wrote three volumes in Hans Winterstein's handbook of comparative physiology" [Rothschuh History of Physiology, pp. 301-2].
Boruttau was Professor of Physiology at Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Berlin.
Contains Brazier's "Historical Introduction: The Discoverers of the Steady Potentials of the Brain: Caton and Beck"; F. Morrell & V. Rowland's "Studies on Learning"; Caspers's " Relations of Steady Potential Shifts inn the Cortex to the Wakefulness-Sleep Spectrum"; Goldring's "Negative Steady Potential Shifts which lead to seizure Discharge' and Bates' "The Unidirectional Potential Changes in Petit Mal Epilepsy."
Contains chapters by Zachar on electrophysiology of isolated excitable structures in vitro, on peripheral excitable structures, peripheral synaptic junctions, sensory receptors, and the spinal cord; by Bures on the electrophysiology of the cerebral cortex and of subcortical structures.
An important period work on electrotherapeutics by a notable Berlin neurologist. The first edition is rare (no copy listed in OCLC). There were seven editions in all, the last appearing in 1924.
Pages 295-493 deal with electricity & magnetism.
Presents selections from the third edition of Duchenne's L'electrisation localisée, in which he classified the electrophysiology of the muscular system. Includes a 57 item list of Duchenne's writings (with titles all given in English), his descriptions of locomotor ataxy and pseudo-hypertrophic paralysis, and a brief biography.
Facsimile reprint of the Philadelphia 1871 translation of the 3rd French edition, which was not published until 1872.
GM 1991 & 598.1; Heirs of Hippocrates #1330 (all the French original). Not in Cordasco. Part I deals with the batrachian reptiles; Part II with fishes & reptiles; Part III with warm-blooded animals; part IV with man & Vertebral animals."Edwards studied the influence of environmental factors on animal life, concluding that vital processes depend on external physical and chemical forces but are not entirely controlled by them. His book is a pioneer work in animal ecology. English translation by Thomas Hodgkin, with important additional material by Hodgkin and others, London, 1832" [GM 598.1]. "[T]his classic treatise on environmental physiology constitutes his greatest achievement. Here Edwards describes and documents a mass of experimentation on the effects of air, water, heat, light, temperature, and electricity on the living organism" [Heirs #1330].
Heirs of Hippocrates 2037. Erb "pioneered in the use of electricity in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous disorders. This work on electrotherapy contains first descriptions of several nervous disorders [notably muscular dystrophies] and was written while Erb was professor of neurology at the University of Heidelberg" [Heirs].
Heirs of Hippocrates 2037 (German edition): Erb "pioneered in the use of electricity in the diagnosis and treatment of nevous disorders. This work on electrotherapy contains first descriptions of several nervous disorders and was writen while Erb was professor of neurology at the University of Heidelberg." Professor of Neurology at Heidelberg, Erb pioneered the use of electrotherapy and gave the original descriptions of a number of nervous disorders, especially the muscular dystrophies.
Caillet 3919 (2nd edition only). Figuier is best known for his works on spiritualism, of which he became an ardent devotée, and alchemy. This work is devoted to the development of industrial arts and technology.
Thesis submitted to the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, University of Pennsylvania.
Cordasco 60-0646. The first extensive, systematic American work on the medical and surgical use of electricity.
Cordasco 90-3347.
OCLC locates 8 copies: Columbia HS; Welch; NLM; Wellcome; Univ of Chicago; NY Acad of Med; Countway; Coll of Physicians of Phila. Jellinek became perhaps the leading authority on the medical aspects of electricity—his 1932 Elektrische Vorletzungen is GM 2257. At the time of publiccation he was Honordozent at the Technische Hochschule in Vienna, later Professor of Electro-Pathology at the University of Vienna. A third and last revised edition appeared in 1931.
OCLC locates only 4 copies, at NY Acad of Med, Harvard, NLM, and Duquesne. Kramer was a Berlin neurologist and neuropsychiatrist. The present work is an electromyographic workbook with two plates showing the peripheral musclar nerves, two the spinal and other main nerve trunks, and two the points for electrical stimulation. The balance of the book consists of repeated frontal and dorsal male images to be clipped out along the perforated gutter and used clinically in charting peripheral nerve lesions.
The offprints are (first three from the Journal of Physiology): "Neuro-Muscular Isochronism and Chronological Theory of Curarization" (81 #1, 1934, inscribed); "Alpha and Gamma Curves in Slow Muscles" (78 #4, 1933); "Retrograde Polarization, a Theory of Systematic Errors in Measurements of Muscular Chronaxie through Ringer's Fluid or with Large Electrodes"; "Physiologie générale du système nerveux" (Dumas' Nouveau traité de psychologie, chapter 4, 1930, inscribed); "Notice sur les titres et travaux scientifiques de M. Louis Lapicque" (Paris: Imprimerie de la Cour d'Appel, 1928, inscribed, contains: "La chronaxie," "Détermination de l'éxcitabilité en fonction du temps," and "Théorie du système nerveux").Professor of General Physiology at the Sorbonne, Lapicque conributed to the development of neurology and electrophysiology through his research on nerve cells.
A third and last revised edition appeared in 1940.
Charts the changes that take place in the EEG of the dog from the neonatal period to the end of the first year of neonatal life.
Chapters on spine, peripheral nerve, and cerebral disoders, electrical burning of the head with & without cerebral symptoms, death via electricity. Panse was to become Professor of Psychiatry at the Medical Academy of Düsseldorf, publishing in 1964 an important historically oriented world survey of psychiatric hospitals.
A student of Charles Bernard's, Radcliffe was one of the first in Britain to investigate the electrophysiology of muscle and nerve. He also wrote several significant books on epilepsy.
OCLC locates copies only at Yale & Harvard.
Includes chapters on his pioneering work in medical electricity and his collaboration with George M. Beard.
Smee's first (& most important) contribution to mental philosophy. A British surgeon, Smee's main interests and work concerned electricity and electro-metallurgy, upon which subject he published an important book in 1840. His 1849 Elements of Electro-Biology "was a pioneer excursion into the territory of electrical physiology" [DNB]. The present work presents its ideas in a more popular and philosophically oriented form. See the Wheeler Gift Catalogue for Smee's various publications relating to electricity.
The second edition discusses the application of transistors and other semiconductor devices to physiology.
Zondek was a. o. Professor at the University of Berlin.
Apparently the first detailed primer on the construction and repair of solid state circuits for use in the behavioral science & biomedicine.Return to Gach Books home page
