The Economy of the Animal Kingdom
Oeconomia regni animalis in transactiones divisa
Two volumes (Amsterdam, 1740–1741) on the blood, the heart, the brain and the soul, built on the anatomy of his day (Malpighi, Leeuwenhoek, Boerhaave). Swedenborg proposes that the soul acts through a 'spirituous fluid' and locates the higher functions in the cerebral cortex, insights that neurology later came to value.
