He put forth in De Fibra Motrice the "solidist" theory that is, contrary to the traditional belief of the four humors, maintaining the effective operation of an organ was primarily due to its solid parts, rather than its fluids. He was a strong advocate for doctors relying on careful observation over general theory, and was described as "a distinguished physiological researcher fascinated by the nerves, his microscopic studies enabled him to distinguish between smooth and striated muscles and distinct kinds of fibres".
