This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ...the sensitive nerves. 2. Sensitive impressions may pass, in the fibres of a sensitive nerve, cither from without inward or from within outward. This of course never takes place in the normal condition; but its possibility has been demonstrated, in the experiments of Paul Bert, by dividing a sensitive nerve and then reversing its position, so that its peripheral extremity is in connection with the nerve centres. The end of the tail, in a young rat, was deprived of integument for a length of five centimetres, and the denuded portion inserted beneath the skin of the back of the same animal. At the end of eight days, when the ingrafted portion had become adherent to the subcutaneous tissues, and had contracted sufficient vascular connection for its support, the tail was amputated at its base, and thenceforward remained attached to the body of the animal only by what was previously its peripheral extremity. In three months sensibility again began to be manifested in the end of the tail, thus reversed; and in six months it was reestablished to an unmistakable degree. The nerves of the tail, which before the operation transmitted sensitive impressions from its point toward its base, afterward transmitted the same impressions from its base toward its point. In this instance the nerve fibres which thus acted in a reverse direction were fibres of new formation, like those which generally replace the degenerated fibres of divided nerves (page 355); but there is no evidence that such regenerated fibres are in any way different from those originally existing in the same parts. Although the nerve fibres therefore may excite two different forms of action, their own condition may be the same for both. If they communicate their stimulus to a perceptive...
