Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, originally published in 1880, focuses on the study of brain disease and their physical demonstrations, with a particular focus on hysteria, epilepsy, and chorea. The author, a pioneering neurologist, explores historical beliefs and cultural understandings surrounding these conditions. He challenges the era's prevalent ideas of hysteria as a result of female malingering. The author further debunks the prevailing notion chorea was a product of wilful misbehavior in children, arguing instead for a mostly hereditary cause. Through case studies, the book underscores the critical role of examining motor disorders for an in-depth understanding of the nervous system, stressing the value of electrical testing for comprehensive neurological assessments. This book remains significant in the field of neurology, providing a valuable historical perspective on our understanding of brain disorders and establishing a framework for modern neurological examination.
