Note 192 — Chapter VIII · THE LAWS OF NERVOUS ACTIVITY.
Reading edition
Freusberg observed that the reflex movements in the legs of a dog whose spine had been divided were considerably lessened after food or drink. They fell from 95 to 46 pendulum-beats in a minute after a litre of water had been drunk. See his instructive memoir, Reflex-Lähmungen beim Hunde, in Pflüger’s Archiv, 1874, p. 369.
