By John Black Johnston

Book Overview

The Brain of Petromyzon is a scientific book written by John Black Johnston in 1902. The book aims to define the primitive functional divisions of the central nervous system by studying the brain of the Petromyzon, commonly known as the lamprey. The author presents a detailed analysis of the brain of the lamprey, which is considered to be a primitive vertebrate. The book includes several illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex structure and functions of the lamprey's brain.
