Auerbach's Plexus

Auerbach's plexus (also known as Auerbach's plexus) is a complex of nerve fibers located in the spinal cord at the level of the 2nd to 3rd lumbar vertebrae. It was discovered by German neurologist Ludwig Auerbach in 1865 and named after him.

Auerbach's plexus plays an important role in regulating muscle tone and coordination of movements. It transmits signals from the spinal cord to the muscles and back, which allows you to control movements and maintain body balance. In addition, it is involved in the regulation of pain and sensitivity in the lumbar region.

However, the Auerbach plexus can also be susceptible to various diseases such as myelopathy, spinal stenosis, multiple sclerosis and others. In such cases, treatment may include medication, physical therapy, surgery, and other treatments.

Thus, the Auerbachian plexus is an important element of the nervous system, which plays an important role in the control of movements and the regulation of pain. However, it can also be susceptible to various diseases that require timely and effective treatment.

** Auerbach's plexus** *Who is he?* Auerbach Karl Friedrich August Wilhelm (1) (L.Auerbach) is a German neurologist, whose name is included in the list of the greatest physicians in the world. He was born on June 23, 1812 in Mainz (Germany), and died on September 30, 1900 in Berlin.

* Scientific achievements * Hans Garten, a student of Professor Auerbach at the University of Leipzig (the title of scientist was immortalized in his name when awarded the Order of FDR), wrote: “The scientific achievements of Professor Auerbach can be characterized by the following sentences: 1. Auerbach formulated ideas about the membrane of nerve cells. (145) 2. He was the first to propose the concept of a special direction in the movement of electrical stimulation through an animal organism; developed ideas about the importance of nerve forces of action as special impulses for special conductors of sensory endings.”

In 1754, he sent a letter to the Archives of Medicine, in which, describing his observations, he showed that electrical discharges of animal origin are capable of spreading in the tissues of the body. By the 1850–1860s, Auerbach had developed his own ideas about the role of neuronal synapses. In particular, he thought through and began to develop a method of artificial chemical stimulation of nerve cells.

_How to treat nervous disorders?!* The core of Auerbha's disease is neurosis, manifested by headache and asthenia. Symptoms are expressed in intense headache, it is of a tightening nature. Painful attacks are provoked by light and noise, and nausea is a concern. The headache can be bilateral, often affecting the eyes. Let's look at the treatment of this disease. Professor Auerbach developed the basic principles of therapy for neurasthenia. The essence of therapy is to eliminate the difficult impression and then stop its regular manifestations. Treatment should be carried out using small doses; based on the principle of avoidance. The main drugs: phenamine, nicotinic xanthinol with glucose and ascorbic acid; other stimulant drugs can be combined with injections of glauberic acid and potassium bromide, dissolving the necessary drugs with a solution of alcohol or
