Galvanism refers to a physiological phenomenon related to the effects of electricity on living organisms, particularly how electrical currents can stimulate muscles and nerves. The term is named after the Italian scientist Luigi Galvani, who, in the 18th century, discovered that electrical currents could cause frog legs to twitch, leading to the idea that electrical impulses are involved in the functioning of living tissues.
