Description: ANTIQUE RARE 1880 The Functions of the Brain by David Ferrier 19th CENTURY BOOK As of this posting, this is the only 1880 The Functions of the Brain book on the internet. For being nearly 150 years old, it’s in impressive condition all things considered. See photos. David Ferrier's 1880 book, The Functions of the Brain, is a landmark work in the history of neuroscience. The book presents a comprehensive overview of Ferrier's groundbreaking research into the localization of brain function, which established the idea that specific regions of the brain are responsible for specific functions. Ferrier's research was conducted using experimental ablation, a technique that involves selectively damaging different parts of the brain in order to observe the resulting changes in behavior. By carrying out these experiments on animals, Ferrier was able to establish the specific regions of the brain responsible for functions such as vision, movement, sensation, and speech. In The Functions of the Brain, Ferrier presents a detailed analysis of his findings, describing the experiments he conducted and the results he obtained. The book is organized into chapters focusing on different areas of the brain and their associated functions, such as the cortex, cerebellum, and basal ganglia. Ferrier also discusses the wider implications of his research, including the potential for understanding and treating neurological disorders. The Functions of the Brain was widely recognized as a major contribution to the field of neuroscience, and established Ferrier as one of the leading figures in the discipline. The book remains a significant work in the history of neuroscience, and its influence can still be seen in contemporary research into brain function and behavior.
