He was professor of physiology at the universities of Liverpool and London and at Oxford. He contributed major concepts in his field, among them that of proprioception, that of the function of the synapse (a term he introduced), and the process described in his Integrative Action of the Nervous System (1906, 2d ed. 1948). As a physician, he did important work in the study of cholera and of diphtheria and tetanus antitoxins, and played an important role in the improvement of health and safety conditions in British factories during World War I. He was knighted in 1922 and with E. D. Adrian shared the 1932 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries regarding the function of the neuron. Among his other works are Mammalian Physiology (1919, rev. ed. 1929)

Sherrington, Sir Charles Scott English neurophysiologist who studied the structure and function of the nervous system. The Integrative Action of the Nervous System 1906 formulated the principles of reflex action. Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine 1932. He showed that when one set of antagonistic muscles is activated, the opposing set is inhibited. This theory of reciprocal innervation is known as Sherrington's law. Sherrington also identified the regions of the brain that govern movement and sensation in particular parts of the body. Sherrington was born in London and studied there at St Thomas's Hospital and at Cambridge. He became professor at London University's veterinary institute 1891, at Liverpool 1895, and was professor of physiology at Oxford 1913-35. During World War I, for three months he worked incognito as a labourer in a munitions factory, and the observations he made there did much to improve safety for factory workers. One of Sherrington's findings, published 1894, was that the nerve supply to muscles contains 25-50% sensory fibres, as well as motor fibres concerned with stimulating muscle contraction. The sensory fibres carry sensation to the brain so that it can determine, for example, the degree of tension in the muscles. Sherrington divided the sense organs into three groups: interoceptive, characterized by taste receptors; exteroceptive, such as receptors that detect sound, smell, light, and touch; and proprioceptive, which involve the function of the synapse (Sherrington's word) and respond to events inside the body.

Relief of Pain and Suffering Facial expression of pain drawn by Sir Charles Bell (From: The Anatomy and Philosophy of Expression: as Connected with the Fine Arts . 5th ed. London : Henry G. Bohn, 1865) By the 1890s, physiological and medical concepts of pain, as of the body and of disease generally, had become mechanistic, localized, and empirical. The work of Rudolf Virchow in the 1850s and 1860s had demonstrated the cellular damage associated with infection and trauma. The experimental findings of physiologists in France, Germany, and England supported mechanical models of body functions. The work of Charles Bell and , showing that the posterior roots of the spinal nerves responded to sensations whereas the anterior roots appeared to be associated with motor responses, laid the groundwork for the idea of a dedicated neural pathway of pain sensation, elaborated in 1839 by theory of " specific nerve energies ." Further confirmation came from the work of on the pain pathway in the spinal cord ; from the contributions of John Hughlings Jackson and others, suggesting specific locations of various function in the brain; and from the experiments of Max von
