Shocking Frogs: Galvani, Volta, and the Electric Origins of Neuroscience
Piccolino, Marco (Professor of General Physiology and Lecturer in History of Life Sciences, Professor of General Physiology and Lecturer in History of Life Sciences, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy)
Shocking frogs offers a completely new perspective on a fundamental episode of eighteenth-century science--leading, on one hand, to the discovery of the electric nature of nervous signals, and, on the other, to the invention of the electric battery.
