Unpublished paper, 'On the changes evoked in the circulation and respiration by electrical excitation of the floor of the 4th ventricle' by Walter Spencer
Reference number: AP/67/15
Date: 1891
Description
The object of the research is to connect more closely clinical signs with pathological changes in the medulla by localising in the floor of the fourth ventricle the 'centres' which influence circulation and respiration.
Annotations in pencil and ink throughout. Note reads 'A large majority of the expenses of the this investigation were defrayed by a grant from the British Medical Association. The experiments were performed at the Brown Institution'. Includes six pages of figures.
Subject: Physiology / Electricity
Received 15 June 1891. Read 18 June 1891. Communicated by Professor V [Victor] Horsley.
Whilst the Royal Society declined to publish this paper in full, an abstract of the paper was published in volume 50 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society as 'On the changes evoked in the circulation and respiration by electrical excitation of the floor of the 4th ventricle'.
