Walter Holbrook Gaskell 1847-1914 classical memoir on the muscle and nerves of the heart included a description of "Gaskell's nerves" the accelerator nerves of the heart. He showed that the motor impulses from the nerve ganglia in the sinus venosus influence the heart rhythm but do not originate cardiac movements which are due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart muscle. This led to the artificial production of "heart-block" the name of which Gaskell based on a expression of Georges John Romanes." Garrison & Morton No. 829 unknown

No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Year 1882 Volume 173 - 1883. - Pp. 993-1033 and 5 plates 1 heliogravure instrument 4 folded recordings. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Gaskell's classic in neuroscience on the musculature and innervation of the heart."In the Croonian lecture for 1881 dealing with the frog heart Gaskell presented an important new method for studying heart action later named the "suspension method" and insisted that cardiac inhibition depended less on nerve or ganglionic mechanisms than on the inherent properties of the cardiac musculature. The role of the vagus nerve in inhibition was reduced to that of being the “trophic†anabolic nerve of the cardiac muscle. Yet in the same lecture Gaskell produced impressive evidence against Foster’s myogenic theory of rhythmicity and advocated instead the neurogenic view that discontinuous ganglionic discharges are responsible for the rhythmicity of the normal heartbeat. The background to this defection was exceedingly complex but it derived from an initial assumption which Foster himself accepted that ganglionic impulses - whatever their role in rhythmicity - are somehow involved in coordinating the normal sequence of the vertebrate heartbeat."DSB.Garrison & Morton 829. </em> unknown

"After completing his medical studies in 1874 he decided on a career in physiology. Foster advised him to work for a year under Carl Ludwig the great German physiologist whose introduction of the kymographic recording method was integral to the investigation of the heart. In Ludwig's well-equipped laboratory in Leipzig Gaskell studied the vasomotor control of the blood flow in the skeletal muscle arteries demonstrating that sensory nervous stimulation could cause arterial dilation. His continuing interest in the nature of the sympathetic control of cardiac and arterial function led to his definitive work on the anatomy and function of the efferent sympathetic nerves published in 1885 which served as the foundation for all future investigations in this area. His studies also proved the antagonistic cardiac effects of the autonomic nervous system especially the cardioinhibitory role of the vagus nerve and its control of the heartbeat."
