Luigi Galvani
Luigi Galvani (1737–1798) was an Italian physician and professor at the University of Bologna where he taught anatomy.
Through physiological studies of dead frog's muscles and how their nerves was affected by contact with metals, Galvani discovered galvanism.
By making contact between the muscles of the frogs and the nerves and the metal, Galvani discovered that there was jerking in the muscles of the dead animal, the galvanism was invented. For Galvani, the discovery was primarily a confirmation of his own thesis that animals have an inherent electricity.
In 1791, Galvani presented his finding on animal electricity in the article De viribus electricitatis in motu musculari commentarius. In the 1840s, German scientist Emil Du Bois-Reymond's electrophysiological work came to change the view of the existence of animal electricity.
