‘Prochaska introduced the idea of a “sensorium commune” in the central
nervous system, a consistent and comprehensive theory of reXex action’
(Garrison–Morton.)
‘Prochaska termed the central mechanism of the reXex the “sensorium
commune” which was not related to the soul. In the absence of knowledge
concerning its anatomical basis, this was necessarily vague, but there is
nevertheless a degree of clarity in Prochaska’s writings not found in those of
his predecessors.’ (Clarke and O’Malley p. 345.)
