		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.

	Charles Scott Sherrington Summary
		Sherrington also made an important distinction among exteroceptive sensory nerves that detect stimuli from outside the body (such as smells, sounds, and light), interoceptive nerves that detect stimuli taken in to the body (foods), and proprioceptive nerves that detect states within the body such as the position of a muscle.
		Sherrington was also the first to use the term neuron for the nerve cell and synapse for the junction between nerve cells.
		Charles Scott Sherrington became one of the founders of the discipline of neurophysiology through his research on how nerve impulses are transmitted between the central nervous system and muscles.

	Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (www.whonamedit.com)
		Sherrington was the son of Anne Brookes and James Norton Sherrington, of Caister, Great Yarmouth, a country physician who died when he was quite young.
		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.

		Sherrington also identified the regions of the brain that govern movement and sensation in particular parts of the body.
		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.
		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 that kept the dog upright.

	Mind - Chapter Four
		The death on March 4, 1952, of Sir Charles Sherrington at the age of 94 marked the passing of the man of genius who laid the foundations of our knowledge of the functioning of the brain and spinal cord.
		It could be, Sherrington declared, that what was later by Eccles to be called the "self-conscious mind" or "soul," and by Penfield "the spirit," was a kind of emergent phenomenon arising out of the brain, which at a certain point achieved a kind of independence.
		Sherrington's great contribution is that he laid the foundations for the understanding of the operation of the brain and yet did it in such a way that his students were still left free to pursue the even more important study, the nature of the interaction in the mind/brain partnership.

	Significance of Animal Behavior Research
		Animal behavior is the bridge between the molecular and physiological aspects of biology and the ecological.
		Charles Darwin's work on emotional expression in animals has had an important influence on many psychologists, such as Paul Ekman, who study human emotional behavior.
		Sir Charles Sherrington, an early Nobel Prize winner, developed a model for the structure and function of the nervous system based only on close behavioral observation and deduction.

		Sherrington, by the way, won the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his work on the integrative action of the nervous system.
		The Center, a multi-disciplinary unit of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science at FAU founded in 1985, has brought together highly respected scientists from diverse backgrounds including neuroscientists, laboratory biologists, psychologists, mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
		Ultimately, a deep scientifically based understanding of Dr. Sherrington’s enchanted loom and his "shifting harmony of subpatterns" may lead us to treatments for brain dysfunctions and a richer comprehension of how we can learn, remember, cooperate and coexist.

		Sherringtons work on the reflex action of the nervous system greatly influenced modern physiology.
		He published his work in 1906 in which he explained how the nerves co-ordinate and dominate the bodies functions, he showed the process by which the brain, spinal cord and numerous reflex pathways control the activites of the body.
		Through this reflex action the entire body adjusts to a stimulus or the environment.

		During his earlier years in Cambridge, Sherrington, influenced by W. Gaskell and by the Spanish neurologist, Ramón y Cajal, whom he had met during his visit to Spain, took up the study of the spinal cord.
		He was also sensitive to the music of prose, and this and the poet in him, but also the biologist and philosopher, were evident in his Rede Lecture at Cambridge in 1933 on The Brain and its Mechanism, in which he denied our scientific right to join mental with physiological experience.
		For his work about the functions of neurones Adrian was awarded, jointly with Sir Charles Sherrington, the Nobel Prize for 1932.

	A Theory Too Small
		The development of the mechanistic approach from a methodology to a pervasive outlook on all of life is traced.
		He rightly excluded any appeal to nonphysical force when he sought to explain the operations of the nervous system, especially in man. It is clear, however, that the course of half a century of research he observed pervasive nonphysical reality that expressed itself in apparent purposefulness.
		As we have seen earlier, long before Sherrington, Claude Bernard (1813-1873) had established a credo for physiologists which cast the spirit of research in an iron mold from which it was not to escape for over a century.

	TIME.com: The Problem of Pain -- Jul 30, 1956 -- Page 1
		Dictionaries are hopeless.* The late Sir Charles Sherrington, who collected no fewer than 22 honorary doctorates for his brilliant researches in physiology, called pain "the psychical adjunct of an imperative protective reflex." That may be fine for another physiologist, but it is no help to a man with a nail through his foot.
		Even Sherrington's "imperative protective reflex" is missing—these animals have to learn to stay away from a hot stove, and it takes repeated burns to teach them.
		The conclusion: the differences between races and cultures must lie in the "psychical adjunct" part of Sherrington's definition—in the reaction to pain, not in the pain as such.
