Excerpt from From Fundamental to Accessory in the Development of the Nervous System and of Movements: A Dissertation
T iaz Level T Item), of the Nervous System. The conception of the nervous system as an undifferentiated unity, such as pervades the popular notion of mind, is not a view that finds substantiation by modern investigation. The notion that all our actions are dictated from a single center, the brain, is at best but half a truth; many actions which have every appearance of good sense are regulated entirely within the spinal column and some from within the walls of the abdomen. The lower orders of animals have no brain ganglia, and the lowest vertebrates no cerebrum. Man epitomizes the products of biologic history, and from an evolutionary standpoint we should expect a nervous system of added parts instead of a homogeneous organ. All positive evidences from the sciences of anatomy and physiology, and pathological phenomena as well, go to support the evolutionary view of the nervous system of parts, correlated and closely associated, but nevertheless preservin g a degree of relative independence.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the field of neurology to trace the development of the nervous system and its impact on human movement. The author, an expert in the field, draws connections between the evolution of human neurological structures and the advancements in our capacity for movement. The book examines the progressive development of the nervous system from fundamental structures to accessory ones, highlighting the unique characteristics of accessory movements. These movements, such as the intricate capabilities of the human hand, are distinguished by their complexity, sequential nature, and precision. The author explores the implications of these findings for education, arguing that understanding the order in which different parts of the brain develop can lead to pedagogical practices that align with human neurological development. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the intricate relationship between the nervous system, movement, and education, offering a comprehensive exploration of this fascinating field.
