Memory (Classic Reprint): Lectures on the Specific Energies of the Nervous System: Lectures on the Specific Energies of the Nervous System (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Explore how nerves carry more than just simple signals—and how experience shapes the brain’s powers. This concise, scholarly work examines the idea that each nerve and cell has a multiform energy that can be specialized and developed through stimulation and learning. It contrasts fixed, uniform responses with a dynamic view of memory, habit, and skill rooted in neural education.
In clear terms, the text argues that the brain is not a finished instrument at birth. It grows, adapts, and reorganizes itself as sensory experiences flood in after birth, and these experiences mold which energies are expressed by which cells. The discussion bridges physiology and philosophy, showing how memory and learning arise from the evolving capacities of neurons and their connections.
- How innate energies interact with sensory input to create distinct experiences
- Why repetition strengthens certain neural pathways and behaviors
- The difference between fixed functions and adaptable neural development
- The idea that the brain’s wiring is shaped by learning, not just biology
Ideal for readers curious about the science of memory, brain development, and how experience alters the nervous system over a lifetime.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book by the renowned physiologist Ewald Hering delves into the nature of color sensations and the processes of life. It presents ground-breaking insights into the field, expanding upon Johannes Muller's theory of 'specific energies of the sensory nerves', from the 19th century, where each sensation originates from a distinct energy within the nervous system. Hering's work explores this concept in greater depth, examining the phenomena of memory, perception and other aspects of consciousness. His research laid the foundation for understanding the intricate relationship between our physical senses and our subjective experiences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333344313_0
