Add to ORKGIn 1787 Aloysio Luigi Galvani (1737-1798), at that time Professor of Anatomy at the University of Bologna, demonstrated that the muscles of the hind limbs of a frog manifested "electromotive phenomena." A partly dissected frog's leg with a metal scalpel accidentally left in contact with an exposed nerve showed muscle contractions whenever a nearby electrostatic apparatus was rotated. Ensuing experiments led him to describe a method for stimulating tissues electrically by simply touching a muscle or nerve with two rods of clissimilar metals bound together, believing that it was due to electricity generated within the tissues. Allesandro Volta (1745-1827), Professor of Physics at the University of Pavia, challenged Galvani's interpretation by...
