The first textbook of physiology first published in German in four parts from 1833 to 1840 and a key book in the emergence of the still-dominant monist-materialist model in medicine and psychology.

"Muller's work began a new era in the study of physiology: he pioneered the use of experimental methods in medicine introduced the element of psychology into physiological investigation . and made the first attempts to explain physiological problems in terms of existing comparative physical and chemical knowledge" Norman Catalog. "Fundamentally the doctrine of specific nerve energies involved two cardinal principles. The first of these principles was that the mind is directly aware not of objects in the physical world but of states of the nervous system. The nervous system in other words serves as an intermediary between the world and the mind and thus imposes its own nature on mental processes. The second was that the qualities of the sensory nerves of which the mind receives knowledge in sensation are specific to the various senses the nerve of vision being normally as insensible to sound as the nerve of audition is to light" Wozniak p. 39.
