Luigi Galvani

Luigi Galvani , born with Bologna the September 9th 1737 and died in Bologna the December 4th 1798, is a Physicien and Médecin Italy N.

It is initially attracted by the Théologie, then directs towards studies of Natural science. During its studies on the relationship between the electricity and the nervous system, carried out on thighs of Frog S, it highlights a new phenomenon and which is to some extent the starting point of all the developments of modern science in what it opens the access to a broad use of the electricity: its discovery of “animal electricity”, when a frog thigh is put in contact with metals. Unfortunately for him, it allots the electrical production to the thigh itself. On its side, starting from the observation of Galvani, Volta with the intuition that the electrical production related to the presence of different metals, is connected by a driver (the thigh), which enables him to invent the battery by replacing the thigh by paperboard soaked with salt water. This difference in interpretation gave place to a wild controversy between Volta and Galvani, between 1781 and 1797.

Luigi Galvani published viribus electricitatis in motu musculari commentarius in 1791.
