Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book probes the relationship between epilepsy and excessive bleeding. Prior to the 19th century, epileptic fits were thought to originate from the spinal cord. The author places the onset of epileptic convulsions in the brain, presenting many experiments involving rabbits that demonstrate how cutting off blood flow to the head causes generalized convulsions similar to those seen in epilepsy. The author describes how major blood loss in humans often incites convulsions and supports this through accounts of carotid artery ligation, a surgical procedure that restricts blood flow to the brain. These observations help establish a link between cerebral blood loss and epileptic seizures, providing critical insights into the nature and origin of epilepsy.
