Charles Scott Sherrington Nerves Quotations

That a strong stimulus to such an afferent nerve, exciting most or all of its fibres, should in regard to a given muscle develop inhibition and excitation concurrently is not surprising.

He solved at a stroke the great question of the direction of nerve-currents in their travel through brain and spinal cord.

The terminal path may, to distinguish it from internuncial common paths, be called the final common path. The motor nerve to a muscle is a collection of such final common paths.
