Excerpt from A Treatise on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity A study Of the physiology Of the nervous system shows us that nerve-force is generated in or by the vesicular neurine. And that the tubular or fibrous neurine conducts it. But, what is the nerve-force Of the brain? And in what manner is its vesicular neurine active The result Of its activity we know, namely, the ability to receive sensations Of all kinds; the power Of comparing these sensations and of storing them for comparison; the power of combining these sensations in new arrange ments, of imagining - not, indeed, new sensations - but combinations Of them; the power Of feeling emotions and propensities.
