TitleUnpublished paper, 'On the nerves of the liver, biliary ducts and gall bladder' by Robert Lee
Date1862
DescriptionAfter writing on the deficiency of existing knowledge respecting the distribution and arrangement of the nerves of the liver, Lee states that he has recently made dissections which 'prove that all the arteries which ramify throughout the substance of the liver, even the most minute, are accompanied with nerves, on which here are enlargements resembling ganglia, and that the hepatic ducts and gall-bladder are largely supplied with these gangliform plexuses of nerves, which all arise from the semilunar ganglion and solar plexus.'

Subject: Physiology / Neuroscience

Received 19 August 1862. Read 20 November 1862.

Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 12 of Abstracts of the Papers Printed in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London [later Proceedings of the Royal Society] as 'On the nerves of the liver, biliary ducts, and gallbladder'.
