You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Augustus Volney Waller.jpg|thumb|Augustus Volney Waller]]
'''Augustus Volney Waller''' [[Fellow of the Royal Society|FRS]] (21 December 1816 – 18 September 1870) was a British neurophysiologist. He was the first to describe the degeneration of severed [[nerve fiber]]s, now known as [[Wallerian degeneration]].

==Life==
[[Image:Queen's College, Paradise Street, Birmingham.jpg|left|thumb|150px|[[Queen's College, Birmingham|Queen's College, Birmingham, a predecessor college of Birmingham University]]]]

The son of William Waller of Elverton Farm, near [[Faversham]], [[Kent]], was born on 21 December 1816. His youth was spent at [[Nice, France|Nice]], where his father died in 1830. Waller was then sent back to England, where he lived, first with Dr. Lacon Lambe of [[Tewkesbury]], and afterwards with [[William Lambe (physician)|William Lambe]] the [[vegetarian]]. His father sharing Lambe's views, Augustus was brought up until the age of eighteen on a vegetarian diet.

Waller studied in Paris, where he obtained the degree of M.D. in 1840, and in the following year he was admitted a licentiate of the [[Society of Apothecaries]] in London. He then entered general medical practice at St. Mary Abbott's Terrace, [[Kensington]]. He soon acquired a considerable practice, but after the publication of two papers in the ''[[Philosophical Transactions]]'' for 1849 and 1850, he was elected a [[Fellow of the Royal Society]] in 1851. He gave up his practice the same year, and left England to live at [[Bonn]] and carry on his scientific work. Here he became associated with Professor [[Ludwig Julius Budge|Julius Ludwig Budge]], and published papers in the ''Comptes Rendus'' for 1851 and 1852, on physiological subjects. For these papers he was awarded the Monthyon prize of the [[French Academy of Sciences]] for 1852, and for further work this prize was given to him a second time in 1856. The president and council of the Royal Society also awarded him one of their royal medals in 1860 in recognition of the importance of his physiological methods and researches.

Waller left Bonn in 1856, and went to Paris to continue his work in [[Jean Pierre Flourens|Flourens]]'s laboratory at the [[Jardin des Plantes]]; but he soon contracted some form of infection, which left him an invalid for the next two years. He returned to England, and, his health improving, he accepted in 1858 the appointment of professor of physiology in [[Queen's College, Birmingham]] (a predecessor college of [[Birmingham University]]), and the post of physician to the hospital. These appointments he did not long retain. The heart affection which eventually proved fatal led him to seek rest, and, after staying two years longer in England, he retired first to [[Bruges]] and afterwards to Switzerland.

==Works==
With renewed health, he moved to [[Geneva]] in 1868, with the purpose of practising as a physician, and he was almost immediately elected a member of the Société de Physique et d'Histoire Naturelle there. He paid a short visit to London in the spring of 1869 to deliver the [[Croonian lecture]] before the Royal Society, and he afterwards returned to Geneva, where he died suddenly of [[angina pectoris]] on 18 September 1870.

He demonstrated the [[cilio-spinal centre]] in the [[spinal cord]] and the [[vasoconstrictor]] action of the sympathetic; and he invented the degeneration method of studying the paths of nerve impulses. He practically rediscovered the power which the [[white corpuscle]]s possess of escaping from the smallest blood-vessels, while some of his earlier work was concerned with purely physical problems.

The most important of Waller's papers are to be found in the ‘Comptes Rendus,’ in the ‘Philosophical Magazine,’ and in the ‘Philosophical Transactions.’ The Wallerian degeneration is described in the ‘Comptes Rendus,’ 1 Dec. 1851. The demonstration of the cilio-spinal centre was the result of work done jointly with Professor Budge, and is described in the ‘Comptes Rendus’ for October 1851. The function of the [[ganglion]] on the posterior root of each spinal nerve is published in the ‘Comptes Rendus’ (xxxv. 524). ‘The Microscopic Observations on the Perforation of the Capillaries by the Corpuscles of the Blood, and on the Origin of Mucus and Pus,’ appeared in the ‘Philosophical Magazine’ for November 1846, while the ‘Microscopic Investigations on Hail’ were printed in the same journal for July and August 1846 and March 1847.

==Family==
He married, in 1842, Matilda, only daughter of John Walls of North End, Fulham, and by her had one son, [[Augustus Desiré Waller]], M.D., F.R.S., the physiologist, and two daughters.
