Maximilian von FreyDied 25 Jan 1932 at age 79 (born 16 Nov 1852).Maximilian Ruppert Franz von Frey was an Austrian physiologist who studied the sense of touch, providing the first comprehensive information about the cutaneous senses. He confirmed the existence of locations for heat, cold, pressure, and pain reception and studied differential sensitivities to each. He suggested a sensory receptor for each modality but later work showed these identifications to be incorrect.[Image: Sphygmograph used for pulse recording by Frey, 1891] |
