1887Fortn. Rev. May 742 The views recently propounded by Professor Brown-Séquard upon what he calls nervous ‘dynamogeny’. Ibid., Inhibition in one nervous sphere is often accompanied with dynamogeny in another. 1895tr. Max Nordau's Degeneration 28 A feeling of pleasure is always connected with dynamogeny, or the production of force; every living thing, therefore, instinctively seeks for dynamogenous sense-impressions. So dynamoˈgenesis = dynamogeny; dynamoˈgenic a., of or pertaining to dynamogeny; dynaˈmogenous a., having the property of generating or producing force; dynaˈmogenously adv.
1883T. L. Brunton in Nature 8 Mar. 436 M. Brown-Séquard supposes that in each layer of the cerebro-spinal system there are both dynamogenic elements and inhibitory elements for the subjacent segments. 1887Fortn. Rev. May 742 Recent researches by Dr. Féré have thrown additional light upon these ‘dynamogenic’ or ‘force-producing’ processes. 1895tr. Max Nordau's Degeneration 28 Many sense-impressions operate enervatingly and inhibitively on the movements; others, on the contrary, make these more powerful, rapid and active; they are ‘dynamogenous’, or ‘force-producing’. Ibid. 29 Pictures operating dynamogenously, and producing feelings of pleasure. |
