| Titolo: | The Bell-Magendie-Walker controversy / by Gillian Rice. |
| Abstract: | 'Alexander Walker, like his eminent contemporaries Sir Charles Bell and François Magendie, spent many years of his life studying cerebral and spinal cord anatomy...Little attention has been paid to his theories concerning the nature and role of science, but an understanding of Walker's wider beliefs make it clear why he bitterly contested the view of spinal root function proposed by [Bell and Magendie]. A detailed study of the dispute and his life reveal that as much was at stake for him as for Bell and Magendie, and that this matter of priority, which is usually regarded as a two-man controversy, was, in fact, a three-man battle.' |
