Excerpt from History of the Discoveries of the Circulation of the Blood, Ganglia and Nerves: And of the Action of the Heart
Ganglia have since been discovered on other nerves besides the great Sympathetic, especially on the Fifth pair, and the posterior roots of the spinal nerves; and it is now known to all anatomists that there are numerous tribes of living creatures endowed with sensation and power of motion, which have neither brain nor spinal marrow, whose whole nervous system consists Of ganglia and nerves. Numerous treatises on the structure and functions of ganglia and nerves were published by foreign anatomists between 1791 and 1795, but their Opinions were conjectural and discordant. Microscopical researches have since been made upon this subject, without any satisfactory results.
