Synopsis

On The Functions Of The Cerebellum is a book written by Franz Joseph Gall and published in 1838. The book is a detailed exploration of the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for motor control, coordination, and balance. Gall was a prominent physician and anatomist who is widely regarded as the founder of phrenology, a pseudoscientific theory that claimed to be able to determine a person's personality and abilities by examining the shape of their skull. In this book, Gall applies his phrenological theories to the study of the cerebellum, arguing that different regions of the cerebellum are responsible for specific physical and mental functions. He also discusses the role of the cerebellum in various diseases and disorders, including epilepsy and paralysis. Despite its outdated scientific theories, On The Functions Of The Cerebellum is considered an important historical document in the study of neuroscience and brain function.Additional Authors Include George Combe And Andrew Combe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
