RARE book! Mosso (1846-1910) was a 19th century Italian physiologist who invented the first neuro-imaging technique ever, known as 'human circulation balance.' He began recording the pulsation of the human cortex in patients with skull defects following neurosurgical procedures and from his findings that these pulsations change during mental activity, he inferred that during mental activities blood flow increases to the brain. He was born in Turin, studied medicine there and in Florence, Leipzig and Paris, and was appointed professor of pharmacology (1876) and professor of physiology (1879) at Turin. He invented various instruments to measure the pulse and wrote a number of books related to his experiments showing the variation in the volume of the pulse during sleep, mental activity and emotion. This work was first published in the original Italian as La paura in 1891 and is reprinted from the authorized English translation of 1896 made from the fifth Italian edition. Illustrated with diagrams and two photographic plates.
