Title | Unpublished paper, 'Researches into the effects of certain physical and chemical agents on the nervous systems' by Marshall Hall |
Date | January 1847 |
Description | Hall sets out to 'detail the results of an investigation of the phenomena and the laws of production and action of certain secondary or induced conditions of the nervous system, which are effected by a voltaic, and probably by any other electric current, but persistent after the influence of that current is withdrawn'. This condition he designates by the term electrogenic, as describing at once the origin and the independence of that condition.
