A history of nerve functions : from animal spirits to molecular mechanisms /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Recent developments have extended our knowledge of the basic functions of nerves: notably, the demonstration of the mechanism within nerve fibers which transports a wide range of essential materials. In order to understand how this discovery occurred, it is necessary to examine its history. The stor...
