STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. IX.: REFLEX TERMINAL PHENOMENA—REBOUND—RHYTHMIC REBOUND AND MOVEMENTS OF PROGRESSION [PDF]
1. In the experiments here described reflex terminal phenomena have been examined in individual antagonistic muscles during the flexion‐ and extension‐reflexes of the hind limb.2. The phenomena have been investigated in the “normal” and in the “de‐afferented” low spinal, high spinal, and decerebrate preparations of the cat.

STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. XI.: IMMEDIATE REFLEX PHENOMENA IN THE SIMPLE REFLEX [PDF]
1. In this paper the mutual relations of two antagonists at the ankle‐joint‐tibialis anticus and gastrocnemius—are examined during the occurrence of simple reflex stimuli and in different reflex preparations and conditions.2. The two conditions used are the normal—that is, the condition with intact muscle afferents—and the de‐afferented, in which the ...

STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. XV.: IMMEDIATE REFLEX PHENOMENA RESULTANT UPON COMPOUND STIMULATION IN DECEREBRATE PREPARATIONS [PDF]
The present paper itself is the summary of a large number of experiments, and it is not possible again to refer to all the points described in it. The following may, however, be noticed:—1. Where the two antagonistic stimuli are commenced synchronously, “algebraic summation” (Sherrington) of the two “pure” reflexes may occur in the compound reaction ...

STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. XXI.: RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS AS SUCCESSIVE (OR TERMINAL) REFLEX PHENOMENA OF COMPOUND STIMULATION [PROGRESSION CONDITIONED BY ANTAGONISTIC REFLEX STIMULI] [PDF]
1. In the experiments described in this paper the occurrence of rhythmic phenomena in successive phases of compound reactions is shewn. Rhythmic phenomena thus occur in the third phase of such a compound reaction— that is, in a phase in which the background reflex is continued after the withdrawal of the interrupting reflex.

STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. XVI.: DECEREBRATE PREPARATIONS, SUCCESSIVE PHENOMENA IN COMPOUND REACTIONS—STIMULI OF SYNCHRONOUS TERMINATION AND STIMULI OF ASYNCHRONOUS TERMINATION WHERE THE EXTENSION‐REFLEX IS LEFT IN ACTION [PDF]
1. Where the two antagonistic stimuli are synchronously terminated, and where there is no rebound phenomenon in the “pure” flexion‐reflex and only extensor after‐discharge in the “pure” extension‐reflex, there often occurs extensor relaxation on withdrawal of the two stimuli.

STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. XX.: RHYTHMIC MOVEMENTS AS IMMEDIATE REFLEX PHENOMENA OF COMPOUND STIMULATION [PROGRESSION CONDITIONED BY ANTAGONISTIC REFLEX STIMULI] [PDF]
1. The results described in this paper have previously been published in a more condensed form. They are now given in greater detail, and shew that in the low spinal, high spinal, and decerebrate preparations there may be evoked a rhythmic phenomenon during a period in which two afferent nerves—which when stimulated separately give antagonistic ...

STUDIES IN THE PHYSIOLOGY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. XVII.: DECEREBRATE PREPARATIONS, SUCCESSIVE PHENOMENA IN COMPOUND REACTIONS—STIMULI OF ASYNCHRONOUS TERMINATION WHERE THE FLEXION‐REFLEX IS LEFT IN ACTION [PDF]
1. In this paper the successive reflex phenomena in compound stimulation are examined when the reflex “background” is one of ipsilateral flexion. The “background” stimulus is allowed to continue after the withdrawal of the interrupting contralateral stimulus, and the successive phenomena—as before—are examined in two phases of the compound reaction ...

The immune system as a system of relations
Progress in neuroimmunology established that the nervous and the immune systems are two functionally related physiological systems. Unique sensory and immune receptors enable them to control interactions of the organism with the inner and the outer ...

The modern thesis regarding the “structural plastic” properties of the brain, as reactions to injuries, to tissue damage, and to degenerative cell apoptosis, can hardly be seen as expendable in clinical neurology and its allied disciplines (including ...

Psycho-physiologic emergentism; four minds in a body [PDF]
The mind-body problem represents one of the most debated topics in the neurosciences. From a psychological standpoint, abstract/non-material data are an intrinsic part of the mind, intervening to a large extent in reasoning and decision making processes.
