Second edition of Magendie's classic work, containing his many discoveries in experimental physiology, a number of which were important to neurophysiology.

Although he reversed the direction of fluid flow, his studies were the first important ones since Cotugno and included a demonstration of the median foramen of the fourth ventricle, which was named for him. Magendie was also the first to experimentally produce decerebrate rigidity, although the credit is usually given to Goltz" (MacHenry).Magendie (1783-1855) was a prominent French physiologist and pioneer in experimental physiology. He is best known today for his groundbreaking experiments on the nervous system, though these were a celebrated source for controversy between him and Sir… Read More

In 1823 his family emigrated to Tasmania, and in 1833 Maning moved to New Zealand. He married a Maori wife and lived for some time as part of her Maori family. He eventually became… Read More
