(September 9, 1737 – December 4, 1798)
The electric battery ranks among the most important inventions of the 18th century; and indeed, of all times. Although Luigi Galvani did not invent it, he influenced its development more than any other individual: albeit inadvertently. It was him who first noticed (on November 6, 1787) that electricity was generated when different metals were connected to the muscles of a dead frog. Despite misinterpreting it, (by insinuating that the animal produced the current), his findings enabled Alessandro Volta correct the misconception: and thereby, conceive the idea of batteries. Hence, our contemporary concept of bioelectricity began with this ambidextrous surgeon. Galvani’s error did not prevent him from being the eponym of current-detecting instrument: the galvanometer. It was a well-deserved honor, because the idea of a galvanometer emanated from the frog galvanoscope which he invented: following his many experiments with dead frog tissues. Luigi Galvani also merited the eponyms of galvanization and other lauds attributed to him. Even before dabbling into bioelectricity, his reputations as both neuroanatomist and histopathologist were grandiose. Although he remained eminent professor of surgery and anatomy, Galvani kept experimenting on “animal electricity” for the remainder of his life. And the prominence it brought him overshadowed his deft distinctions in pathoanatomical diagnoses. Among his notable publications are: De Viribus Electricitatis in Motu Musulari Commentraius, Memorie sulla Elettricità Animale and Memorie ed Esperimenti Inediti. Alongside various honors, the Galvani Potential, the Italian Chemical Society’s Luigi Galvani Medal, the 10184 Galvani asteroid and the 80-kilometer-wide Galvani lunar crater are dedicated to him.

Thе rеsult is very gооd, I lіkеd еvеrything vеry much.
Everything is clear now I understand this.
The compositions of your website are wonderful. Maximum kudos for a job well-done.
Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your blog.
Truly a great blog! I have no clue about Luigi Galvani and his works.
p.s. I’m not a science student
Poor Galvani was overshadowed by Volta. I’m glad to see him here. He deserves more credits than some people are willing to give him.
Hi, just wanted to say that I like what I’ve seen on your website.
Thanks admin, I relished my visit to this site.
This article is very informative
Interesting!
Thank you very much
Galvani and Volta gave us so much
Thanks for taking us on memorable scientific adventures. We love your site.
One observation, two different interpretations from Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta.
Good Job!
Great website that appreciates scientists
Very good!
Interesting
