The attitude of mind means much, and especially are such unfavorable suggestions likely to produce serious effects in inhibiting digestion.
As a consequence, with the application of the new scientific principle, patients cease inhibiting the recovery that would have come spontaneously before, only that they were self-centered and had their nervous energies short-circuited.
This is readily overcome, though the first time it is necessary to keep constantly inhibiting {245} the mind from acting unfavorably upon the stomach during the course of eating and digestion.
These ailments are emphasized by advancing years and, though we cannot prevent decay of tissue, we can keep the patient's mind from inhibiting still further the functions of the impaired tissue.
Since the mind is able to influence motion, it is not surprising that it should be capable of modifying secretion or inhibiting other kinds of functions.
Psychotherapy, that is, the removal of inhibiting influences originating in the mind, and the suggestion of favorable mental influences, is probably more important for the heart than for any other organ in the body.
We may suppose that old age[1] or a sickness lowers his inhibiting qualities, and a startling change in conduct results, one that we can scarcely believe and which we are inclined to call a complete transformation of personality.
With satisfaction of desire, the inhibiting forces come to their own, and the violence of repentance and disgust may be extreme.
The inhibiting agent is a something called the censor, who pushes back into the subconsciousness the socially tabooed, the socially abhorrent desires; represses emotions and instincts that are socially out of order.
Often one experience of this kind builds up an obsessive fear; the associations left by the experience give the fear an open pathway to consciousness, without any inhibiting power.
The capacity for perceiving and responding to stimuli, for inhibiting or delaying action and for choosing, are of cardinal importance in our study.
With some marine forms light has an inhibiting effect.
The Ctenophores were the first forms in which the inhibiting effect of light was noticed.
In persons afflicted with uncontrollable impulses, the inhibiting hormones may not be present in sufficient quantity.
Vague anxiety, depressive fancies and fears, imaginative overactivity can be removed by inhibitingthe post-pituitary.
It seems as if, once successful impregnation has been achieved, the feminine organism adrenalizes itself, makes itself more masculine and less feminine, inhibiting the posterior pituitary and the adrenal medulla, as well as the ovaries.
It appears to do so by inhibiting the activity of the testes or ovaries.
For the internal secretion of the thyroid has a selective affinity for the autonomic or activating system, while that of the adrenals has a selective affinity for the sympathetic or inhibiting system.
It performs its service mainly, in all probability, by inhibiting the sex stimulating effect of light playing upon the skin.
That is why in women after the grand sex change of life, the menopause, hair often grows in the typically male regions because of loss of the inhibiting influence of the ovarian internal secretion upon them.
But the special introduction of the microbes which cause lactic fermentation has the effect of inhibiting putrefaction.
He came to the conclusion that the elimination of meat from the diet was unnecessary, as the particular kind of lactic ferment he employed was extremely active in inhibiting the proteolytic ferments.
Surely, unless there were some inhibiting circumstances, relics, real or forged, would have been produced.
The only probable explanation is that the inhibiting circumstance was the established belief in the assumption.
Abstractly, the law of ideo-motor action is true; but in the concrete our fields of consciousness are always so complex that the inhibiting margin keeps the centre inoperative most of the time.
So long as the inhibiting sense of impossibility remains in the child's mind, he will continue unable to get beyond the obstacle.
Practice increased greatly the distance at which the images could be held apart without conscious alternation of attention, but the strain of holding them apart and of inhibiting eye movement increased with the distance.
Those that act directly upon the bacteria in milk, restraining or inhibitingtheir development.
This fermentation, the essential feature of which is produced by a culture of Streptococcus Hollandicus,[181] develops acid in a marked degree, thereby inhibiting the production of gas.
This cause he seems to find in the inhibiting effects of extreme temperatures upon development.
Suppose the orthodoxies and superstitions succeed ininhibiting me.
The many years during which I had practised the habit of caution began to exert an inhibiting pressure.
He lived on the plane of the impulses and intellect, discarded asinhibiting factors what are called moral standards, decried individual discipline and restraint.
She could not then achieve a sense of identity; it was as though she had partaken of some philtre lulling her, inhibiting her power to grasp the fact in its enormity.
In cases where the commonest form of abnormality is due to a development in excess it seems probable that a normal restraining or inhibiting factor is defective or absent.
His inhibiting factor is potent enough to be active in the DD offspring at least; as a matter of fact 47 per cent of his get have their tails inhibited.
Despite the dilution, inhibition is complete in about 8 per cent of the offspring (grade 0); in about 10 per cent of the offspring the inhibiting factor is so weak that the boot develops as in the pure-blooded Brahma.
But the present point is that it is equally in accord with the facts to regard heredity as initiating and inhibiting processes.
On page 88 I tried to show how common in ontogeny such restraining and inhibiting factors are.
Heredity may be conceived of as exerting at all points a control on developmental processes--sometimes initiating and continuing this; but often, on the other hand, slowing down or wholly inhibiting that.
And this inhibiting factor is dominant over its absence.
These three cases afford a striking illustration of a variation in the potency of the sameinhibiting character in different strains.
These statistics thus confirm the view of the dominance of the inhibiting factor.
Booting is controlled by a dominant inhibiting factor that varies greatly in potency, and nostril-height is controlled by an inhibiting factor that stops the over-growth of the nasal flap which produces the narrow nostril.
The case of the rumpless fowl that arose de novo will be explained, then, as follows: Even in normal RR matings the inhibitingfactor may arise by mutation.
On our hypothesis we should expect some of the families of the mated hybrids to show evidence of the inhibiting factor and others to show no such evidence.
The inhibiting effects of higher concentrations of arsenite and arsenate also present close analogies, but this most interesting aspect of the question has not yet been sufficiently examined to repay detailed discussion.
Small concentrations of various inhibiting agents which are often supposed to act in this way were quite ineffective, and phosphates, which produce such a striking change in yeast-juice, were almost without action (cp.
The following values were obtained for glucose; they are independent of the concentration of yeast and glucose, the class of yeast, and presence or absence of nutrient salts, and remain the same when inhibiting agents are present.
The possibility is also present that inactive combinations of some sort are formed between the fermenting complex and the inhibiting agent, in the manner suggested to account for the inhibiting effect of excess of phosphate (p.
Some writers have called the work of the will in compelling action its positive function, and in inhibiting action its negative function.
The impelling and inhibitingideas we call motives or reasons for and against the proposed act.
The will always has to do with causing or inhibiting some action, either physical or mental.
If the depressing action of bromids on the heart is counteracted by the coincident administration of digitalis, they will act only for good by quieting the nervous system and more or less inhibiting the secretion of the thyroid gland.
An important means of inhibiting disturbance from any arteriosclerosis which should be employed when possible is the climate treatment.
In biochemistry, sequestration is one means of reversibly inhibiting enzymes which depend on divalent metal cations (such as Magnesium) for their activity.
If it were only a question of inhibiting the pain by mental suggestion, the case would not be different from inhibiting the pain of a peripheral organ without attempting to cure the diseased organ itself.
Moreover this power of inhibiting the little troubles of the body and of bringing to work and effectiveness the deepest powers of the mind belongs not less to any other important idea and overpowering purpose.
The brain may be for instance inclined to overstrong impulses, so that any desire rushes to action before the inhibiting counter-idea gets to work.
Emotional experiences may produce there some strong stable dispositions in the brain system which become mischievous in reënforcing or inhibiting certain thoughts and actions without awakening directly conscious experiences.
States have mostly been concerned, therefore, with restraining or inhibiting the natural reproductive instinct of their subjects through marriage laws which protect the State, by fixing paternal responsibility.
Artificial means of inhibiting conception, and intermittent restraint are antagonistic to the sexual instinct, and the desire for limitation must be strong and mutual to counteract this instinct within the marriage bond.
According to many observers, liquid paraffin should not be given with or after meals because of the inhibiting influence that it may have on the digestion of food.
