Comparative Electro-physiology

Comparative Electro-physiology by Jagadis Chunder Bose (1858-1934) is a groundbreaking work exploring the electrical responses of both plants and animals to external stimuli. Bose demonstrated that plants, like animals, exhibit nervous responses, challenging traditional views on plant life. Using sensitive instruments he designed, such as the crescograph, he recorded plant reactions to stimuli like heat, light, and chemicals. His research laid the foundation for modern plant neurobiology and emphasized the unity of life through similar physiological responses across living organisms.
