Galvani's Spark: The Story of the Nerve Impulse
McComas, Alan (MBBS, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, MBBS, Emeritus Professor of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada., Hamilton, Ontario)
Galvani's Spark describes the gradual understanding of the nerve impulse--the basis of all thoughts, sensations and actions. Proceeding from a chance observation on a frog leg, to studies on squid giant axons and bacteria, this book concludes with the increasing realization that ion channells are responsible for a variety of clinical disorders.
