Experiments on the Nervous System With Opium and Metalline Substances

Alexander Monro's "Experiments on the Nervous System with Opium and Metalline Substances" offers a fascinating glimpse into early scientific inquiry. Subtitled "Made Chiefly with the view of Determining the Nature," this historical text details meticulously conducted experiments focused on understanding the nervous system.

Monro's work primarily explores the physiology of frogs, using them as models to study the effects of opium and metalline substances on the nervous system. The book provides detailed accounts of these experiments, revealing the investigative processes used in early scientific exploration. A valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and medicine, this volume showcases the foundations of neurological study. Its focus on experiments and the precise observation of physiological responses makes it relevant to students and researchers of physiology and zoology.
