Medical Historical Findings
Dead Ringers was of the opinion that any part of a nerve, not just the muscle is a irritability own. He thus contributed to the development of sensationalist theories of the nervous system, as originally developed by Georg Ernst Stahl, Friedrich Hoffmann and Albrecht von Haller and had then experienced general attention in England and France. Dead Ringers was thus one of a number of enlightened and free-spirited German doctors who are not inferior to their counterparts in Western countries of theoretical knowledge. However, since the Enlightenment and its ancient traditions were relatively uncommon in Germany, found his work in the opinion of Klaus Dörner also comparatively little response. Greater attention, they found among the English clinicians as Whytt Robert and William Cullen, as well as in the school of Montpellier. As other contemporary theorists of Neurophysiology Georg Prochaska (1749-1820) is considered, the generalized natural philosophy these neurophysiological knowledge already within the meaning of living and nervous energy. Posthumously Dead Ringers by Wilhelm Griesinger was received, which refers in his work on the mental reflex arc, inter alia, on Dead Ringers and Reil. Here are performances from a superficial harmony or of parallels between the brain and spinal cord as different portions of the nervous system, also see the historic medicinal concept of sympathy.
