The Supersensitivity Of Denervated Structures: A Law Of Denervation

The book ""The Supersensitivity Of Denervated Structures: A Law Of Denervation"" by Walter Bradford Cannon is a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of denervation and its effects on the body. The author examines the concept of supersensitivity, which refers to the heightened sensitivity of denervated tissues to certain stimuli. Cannon explores the various physiological and pathological processes that occur in denervated tissues, including changes in muscle tone, blood flow, and metabolism.The book also discusses the implications of denervation for clinical medicine, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain and other neurological disorders. Cannon proposes a ""law of denervation"" that describes the predictable changes that occur in denervated tissues and their potential clinical significance.Throughout the book, Cannon draws on his extensive research in physiology and neurology to provide a detailed and authoritative account of the supersensitivity of denervated structures. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both medical professionals and general readers with an interest in the topic. Overall, ""The Supersensitivity Of Denervated Structures: A Law Of Denervation"" is a seminal work that has had a significant impact on our understanding of the nervous system and its role in health and disease.Experimental Biology Monographs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
