Amine Oxidase Inhibitors

for the advantage of the reader how personality and timeliness of ideas have been major forces in the growth of our understanding of the "Wisdom of the Body." Especially to be recommended to students interested in tracing the background of modern concepts in neurophysiology are the essays by Professor Horace W. Magoun on "The development of ideas relating the mind with the brain," and Professor John F. Fulton "Historical backgrounds of neurophysiology." In the latter Dr. Fulton draws effectively on his associations with Sherrington and Pavlov to fix their respective roles in the growth of our understanding of behavior. Dr. Chandler Brooks, one of the editors of the volume, has contributed an excellent review of the stages in "The discovery of the function of chemical mediators in transmission of excitation and inhibition to effector tissues." For the student this review should have especial interest, for here he will see the fingerpointings to the truth a full thirty years before men's minds were prepared to accept an explanation that challenged naught but tradition. This selection of specific essays from the group betrays the reviewer's special interests. They are all of high quality and each one certain to reward the reader.
