With the nervous system intact the reactions of the various parts of that system, the 'simple reflexes', are ever combined into great unitary harmoni….

A rainbow every morning who would pause to look at? The wonderful which comes often or is plentifully about us is soon taken for granted. Th at is pr….

This integrative action in virtue of which the nervous system unifies from separate organs an animal possessing solidarity, an individual, is the pro….

As followers of natural science we know nothing of any relation between thoughts and the brain, except as a gross correlation in time and space..

That a strong stimulus to such an afferent nerve, exciting most or all of its fibres, should in regard to a given muscle develop inhibition and excit….

If it is mind that we are searching the brain, then we are supposing the brain to be much more than a telephone-exchange. We are supposing it to be a….

Further study of central nervous action, however, finds central inhibition too extensive and ubiquitous to make it likely that it is confined solely ….

The brain is a mystery; it has been and still will be. How does the brain produce thoughts? That is the central question and we have still no answer ….

If we denote excitation as an end-effect by the sign plus (+), and inhibition as end-effect by the sign minus (-), such a reflex as the scratch-refle….

The terminal path may, to distinguish it from internuncial common paths, be called the final common path. The motor nerve to a muscle is a collection….
