	Charles Scott Sherrington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sherrington is considered one of the fathers of neuroscience.
		Sherrington used reflexes in the spinal cord as a way of investigating the general properties of neurons and the nervous system.
		Sherrington is also known for his study of the synapse, a word which he coined for the then-theoretical connecting point of neurons.

	Sherrington, Charles Scott - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Sherrington, Charles Scott
		Sherrington also identified the regions of the brain that govern movement and sensation in particular parts of the body.
		Sherrington was born in London and studied there at St Thomas's Hospital and at Cambridge.
		Sherrington divided the sense organs into three groups: interoceptive, characterized by taste receptors; exteroceptive, such as receptors that detect sound, smell, light, and touch; and proprioceptive, which involve the function of the synapse (Sherrington's word) and respond to events inside the body.

	Sherrington, Sir Charles Scott
		Sherrington was educated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge (B.A. 1883); at St. Thomas' Hospital Medical School, where he qualified in medicine in 1885; and at the University of Berlin, where he worked with Rudolf Virchow and Robert Koch.
		Working with cats, dogs, monkeys, and apes that had been deprived of their cerebral hemispheres, Sherrington found that reflexes must be regarded as integrated activities of the total organism, not as the result of the activities of isolated "reflex arcs," a notion that was currently accepted.
		Sherrington also coined the terms neuron and synapse to denote the nerve cell and the point at which the nervous impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to another, respectively.

		In 1885 Sherrington went, as a member of a Committee of the Association for Research in Medicine, to Spain to study an outbreak of cholera, and in 1886 he visited the Venice district also to investigate the same disease.
		As a boy and a young man Sherrington was a notable athlete both at Queen Elizabeth's School, Ipswich, where he went in 1871, and later at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, for which College he rowed and played rugby football; he was also a pioneer of winter sports at Grindelwald, Switzerland.

		The basic science framework for neurology was solidified by fundamental advances in neurophysiology, led by Sir Charles Sherrington and his collaborators.
		Sir Charles Scott Sherrington shown as a young man was a pre-eminent neurophysiologist of the first decade of the 20th Century.
		English neurology was in the midst of a generational change as William Gowers, Hughlings Jackson, Charles E. Beevor, and Henry Bastian were entering the end of their active careers, and a new generation of leaders that included Henry Head, Gordon Holmes, and S. Kinnier Wilson was emerging.

		Working with cats, dogs, monkeys, and apes that had been deprived of their cerebral hemispheres, Sherrington found that reflexes must be regarded as integrated activities of the total organism, not as the result of the activities of isolated reflex arcs,” a notion that was currently accepted.
		The first major piece of evidence supporting “total integration” was his demonstration (1895–98) of the “reciprocal innervation” of muscles, also known as Sherrington's law: when one set of muscles is stimulated, muscles opposing the action of the first are simultaneously inhibited.

		Charles Bell, the Scottish anatomist and neurosurgeon seen, described the motor role of the anterior or ventral nerve root of the spinal cord in his privately-circulated pamphlet, A New Idea of the Anatomy of the Brain, Submitted for the Observation of his Friends (1811).
		In 1898 the British physiologist, Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952), proposed the key concept of nociception: pain as the evolved response to a potentially harmful, "noxious" stimulus.
		Sherrington insisted that the essential function of the nervous system was the coordination or integration of activities of the various parts of the organism.

		He became professor at London University's veterinary institute 1891, at Liverpool 1895, and was professor of physiology at Oxford 1913-35.
		One of Sherrington's findings, published 1894, was that the nerve supply to muscles contains 25-50% sensory fibres, as well as motor fibres concerned with stimulating muscle contraction.
		In 1906 Sherrington investigated the scratch reflex of a dog, using an electric 'flea', and found that the reflex stimulated 19 muscles to beat rhythmically five times a second, and brought into action a further 17 muscles which kept the dog upright.

	HADASSAH MAGAZINE
		Sherrington had studied the reflex circuitry between nerves and muscles and coined the now familiar term “synapse,”; the connection that provides communication between two neurons.
		Sherrington described the brain as “an enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern.” Like many others I was thrilled not only by Sherrington’s groundbreaking discoveries about the nervous system but by this exquisite metaphor.
		It seems to me that Gitakila and Sherrington, the kabbalist and the scientist, though centuries apart, are likewise of a simultaneous nature and mind.
