FERRIER, Sir David (1843-1928). The Functions of the Brain. London: Smith, Elder, & Co., 1876. 8o (221 x 138 mm). Wood-engraved text illustrations. (Leaves A8 and Y1 detached, occasional pencil marks in text.) Publisher's green cloth (some wear).
Provenance: Gordon Holmes (1876-1965), leading English authority and writer on clinical neurology (signature on title page); Edwin S. Clark (b. 1919), leading English historian of neurology (signature dated 25 March 1950).
FIRST EDITIONS. Ferrier's pioneering experimental work in neurophysiology established the basis for modern neurology and neurosurgery ... Using electrical stimulation and cortical ablation, Ferrier showed conclusively that various neurologic functions were controlled by separate parts of the cerebrum and that damage or loss of that part created an irrevocable and particular deficit ... Ferrier's work confirmed the idea that there existed in the nervous system a rational and understandable organization. This had immense clinical significance in both the diagnosis and the treatment of diseases of the brain" (Grolier Medicine). Garrison-Morton 1409; Grolier Medicine 76; Heirs of Hippocrates 2059; Norman 791.
