Excerpt: ... with the neurones,1 is the unremitting character of their activity. With a metabolism so complicated as that occurring with the nerve units, it is inconceivable that there can be any period in which alterations in chemical structure and, consequently, energy transformation are not going on. From moment to moment, throughout all the hours of the day and night, analytic and synthetic processes are taking place, associated with the alterations in physical forces which necessarily accompany these changes. In common with everything that lives, the neurones know no absolute repose. As I have said, in speaking of their metabolism, periods of extravagant activity may alternate with periods of more economic change, but total rest is inconsonant with continuance of existence. We are forced to believe that what we ordinarily speak of as the passage of a nerve impulse represents, as it were, a stormy process in the nerve fibre, and that, just as absence of a storm does not mean absence of weather, there are in all probability minor alterations, currents if you will, passing to or fro, or to and fro, in a given nerve-fibre in the intervals between the more violent excitations. With increasing knowledge the importance of centripetal impulses, which fall below the threshold of consciousness, and of centrifugal impulses insufficient to call forth visible muscular contractions, is becoming more and more evident. In a healthy individual, perhaps, the majority of the impulses passing from the periphery into the nerve centres have no share in the composition of the mental pictures, but these subconscious stimulations are doubtless of decisive significance for the nutrition of the elements concerned and for the processes of subconscious co-ordination."1 T hus consciousness is...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
