Gasser and Joseph Erlanger received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1944 for their discoveries relating to the highly differentiated functions of single nerve fibers. The work recognized by Stockholm had its origin in a single instrumental decision: in 1922, working together at Washington University School of Medicine, Gasser and Erlanger adapted the cathode ray oscillograph (then a novelty in physical laboratories) to the recording of nerve action potentials, producing for the first time electrical records whose time resolution was equal to the speed of the events they were measuring. What that instrument revealed was that the nerve trunk, previously treated as a functionally uniform conductor, was in fact a bundle of distinct fiber populations each with its own conduction velocity, diameter, and physiological role. The classification of those populations (into the fast-conducting myelinated A fibers, the intermediate B fibers, and the slow unmyelinated C fibers) occupied the next two decades of Gasser's career and transformed neurophysiology's understanding of how the nervous system encodes and transmits information. The clinical applications of that classification remain in daily use: the differential susceptibility of fiber classes to local anesthetics underlies selective neuraxial blockade, eliminating nociceptive transmission (e.g. pain) while preserving motor function; nerve conduction studies, which diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, and demyelinating disease in hundreds of thousands of patients annually, measure the fiber properties Gasser and Erlanger quantified; and the identification of C fibers as the carriers of slow pain has informed the development of targeted analgesic therapies, from capsaicin-based preparations to ion channel blockers, that remain active areas of clinical research. The three offprints offered here trace that program from its instrumental foundation to its synthetic consolidation: the 1922 paper establishing the method and the compound nature of the action potential; the 1930 paper providing the definitive quantitative characterization of the slow-conducting fiber populations; and the 1941 classification lecture in which Gasser draws the full program together and articulates its implications for the timing and integration of nerve impulse transmission. All three are signed. [with] Joseph Erlanger. "A Study of the Action Currents of Nerve with the Cathode Ray Oscillograph; Reprinted from the American Journal of Physiology. Vol. 62, No. 3, pp. 496-524." Bethesda, MD: American Physiological Society, 1922. Offprint, 8vo (267 × 184mm), pp. 29. From the Laboratory of Pharmacology and Physiology, Washington University School of Medicine. Wrappers, staple-bound, wear to the extremities, light toning, else very good. Signed by Gasser on the front wrapper. The founding paper of Gasser and Erlanger's Nobel Prize-winning research program, in which they establish the cathode ray oscillograph as a practical instrument for recording nerve action potentials and demonstrate for the first time the compound nature of the nerve action current. Previous galvanometric methods were too slow and too subject to mechanical inertia to resolve the millisecond-scale electrical events of nerve conduction. Gasser and Erlanger's adaptation of the cathode ray oscillograph, whose electron beam responds to electrical changes without mechanical lag, overcame this limitation entirely. The paper describes the instrument and its calibration in detail, illustrated by diagrams of the apparatus and photographic plates of oscillograph traces, and presents action potential curves from frog and mammalian nerve trunks showing that what had previously appeared to be a single wave was in fact a compound event composed of multiple overlapping components traveling at different velocities. This observation (that a single nerve trunk conducts impulses at multiple velocities corresponding to distinct fiber popu.…

BASICS
Book entries include author (or its equivalent on non¿book items), title (or its equivalent on non¿
book items), place, date, a bibliographical conclusion, and a physical description, typically in that
order. Practical limits in a commercial listing preclude a complete deconstruction, but any aspect
chosen as a digression, for any particular entry, follows the evaluation of many relevant factors at
once, their interdependence, their related importance, and their consequences. We strive to weigh
them fairly, and place them properly in relation to one another, so that, what gets written is not
accidental, but rather the result of an encompassing view, that should have width, breadth and
depth. You can decide whether it has merit
THIS WEBSITE
We built this website the same way the ancients built their cities, over time, with an altering plan, on
top of ruins. So, books in the highlights section are subject to prior sale. Therefore, sustaining the
essence of Biblioctopus, we force you to contact us without the anonymity and cover that more
accommodating businesses may provide in an online shopping experience.
STICKER JOY
We price to challenge other equivalent items of like kind and quality, so everything is marked (or
remarked) to market, by recent world wide survey, the aim being, that no one is offering a finer
example at our price, and no one is offering an equal example for less.
METHODOLOGY
In a stumble towards neo¿scholarship we apply, for example, intellectual history (place within a body
of work), iconography (symbols that point to meaning), iconology (social symbols), semiotics (signs),
formalism (the subjective data), connoisseurship (comparisons within the corpus), and then, any
other techniques that seem interesting, helpful, or appropriate, without the stifling limits usually
imposed by academia.
PLAGIARISM
Old words examine new perspectives and vice versa, so attributed quotations are in quotation
marks, but disparate pithy aphorisms, coy similes, dry metaphors, and wry epigrams, are stolen,
kidnapped, plagiarized, embezzled, and pillaged from everywhere and everyone, then corrupted,
inverted, combined, debauched, and misemployed, all for your happy reading.
ARGOT
We never spin fine into a term for books with faults by using hypnotizing enhancements like fine
plus, fine indeed, very fine, unusually fine, extremely fine, exceptionally fine, exceedingly fine,
unbelievably fine, or unimaginably fine. Restoration and repair are aesthetic, directed at soundness,
and clearly noted, without the use of evasive terminology (jargon). Contemporary means parallel to
the time of publication. Items attributed, as Exsomebody were once owned by that person.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Photography is accomplished with a full frame camera that conveys a straightforward view of
that item. Nothing has been intentionally positioned to hide its failings, the associated text candidly
describes the item itself, not just the faults peculiar to, and obvious in, the picture, and those items,
or sides of items, not illustrated, have their flaws articulated with special clarity.
A COLLECTIVE SOUL
While the range of material may veil it, the items selected have a shared essence.
TIMELINESS
Logically, everything is subject to prior sale.
TAXES
California residents must be charged 9% sales tax, but we give homeboys a discount to even things
out.
DELIVERY
Everything is sent via FedEx, at our expense, but we may take a week to get it wrapped. Purchases under $750, that are to be shipped out of the United States may be sent through a carrier other than FedEx.
ASSURANCES
Everything is guaranteed to be authentic, and way cool, regardless of vintage, but autograph
material, created by the living, is particularly burdened with, and isolated by, specific disclaimers of
warranty.
INSUFFICIENT THRILLS
Everything is deemed to be sold on approval, and anything may be returned, with prompt notice,
within 8 days, for any reason, for a full refund.
