Book Synopsis The Animal Spirit Doctrine and the Origins of Neurophysiology by : C.U.M. Smith
Book excerpt: This book examines the history of Western attempts to explain how messages might be sent from the sense organs to the brain and from the brain to the muscles. It focuses on a construct called animal spirit, which would permeate philosophy and guide physiology and medicine for over two millennia.
