| Title | Paper, 'Preliminary note on the innervation of the mammalian heart' by L C [Leonard Charles] Wooldrige |
| Creator | Wooldridge; Leonard Charles (fl 1883-1889) |
| Date | 1883 |
| Description | Woolridge writes: 'The research was carried out in the Physiological Institute at Leipzig [Germany]. The immediate object was to determine the function of nerves which are to be seen on the surface of the ventricles of the hearts of mammals. It was important to know their functions on the following grounds. In the frog, stimulation of the sinus produces stillstand of the heart. The inhibitory fibres have at any rate here a provisional ending.'
