II. Summary of a paper (to be presented) entitled experimental researches on the spinal cord as a leader for sensibility and voluntary movements

The new field opened by the genius of Sir Charles Bell is enlarging every day, and interesting advances in Physiology and Pathology are constantly being made which are due to the admirable discoveries of this eminent biologist. The following results of my experiments are new developments of these discoveries. I. It has been well proved by the researches, of which I have already published the results, that the nerve-fibres employed to convey sensitive impressions, may be deprived of sensibility, so that the property of being sensitive and that of conveying sensitive impressions are distinct one from the other.
