On The Functions Of The Cerebellum (1838) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781167126086)

On The Functions Of The Cerebellum is a book written by Franz Joseph Gall in 1838. The book is a comprehensive study of the cerebellum, which is a part of the brain responsible for motor control and coordination. Gall's research is based on his observations of patients with cerebellar lesions and his own dissections of the cerebellum. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the cerebellum's anatomy and physiology, including its connections to other parts of the brain and its role in movement control. The second part focuses on the cerebellum's role in mental processes, such as attention and memory, and its relationship to other parts of the brain.Gall's research was groundbreaking for its time and laid the foundation for future studies of the cerebellum. His work challenged the prevailing view that the cerebellum was a relatively unimportant part of the brain and helped establish its importance in motor and cognitive functions. Overall, On The Functions Of The Cerebellum is a seminal work in the field of neuroscience and remains an important reference for researchers and clinicians studying the cerebellum and its functions.Additional Authors Include George Combe And Andrew Combe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
