}Three scientists, George Wald, Ragnar Granit, and Haldan Keffer Hartline, were named last week to share the 1967 Nobel prize in medicine or physiology. Wald is professor of biology at Harvard University. Granit is retired director of the Neurophysiological Institute of the Royal Medical School in Stockholm; at present he is serving as a visiting professor at St. Catherine's College in Oxford. Hartline is professor of biophysics at Rockefeller University. The following are appreciations and…

The Comparative Method Revisited
- Biology

B Barker Jørgensen (2001) reviewed the historical development of a fundamental tenet of the comparative method known as the “August Krogh principle” (AKP) and discussed the influences that both Claude Bernard and August Krogh had on the basic investigative principles of comparative physiology.
Transynaptic Regulation of Neuronal Enzyme Synthesis
- Biology
- 1975
The ability of neurons to undergo “plastic reactions” is reflected not only by biochemically detectable changes in their macromolecular composition but evenChanges in their morphology do not appear to have an analogue in contemporary electronic systems.
Trans-synaptic regulation of the synthesis of specific neuronal proteins.
- Biology, ChemistryJournal of neural transmission

For several decades the main interest in neurobiological research was concentrated on the morphological aspects of neuronal systems and on the electrical manifestations of neuronal activity, but now this attitude to the interpretation of neuronal function and particularly to interneuronal relationship is changing.

Chemical Sympathectomy with 6-Hydroxydopamine
- Biology
- 1970
The surgical denervation is still the method of choice for the denervation of organs such as the nictitating membrane, iris or salivary gland which are innervated from single, easily accessible autonomic ganglia, but for general sympathectomy or for a more complex or less easily accessible innervation the surgical procedure is extremely cumbrous, time consuming and in small animals virtually not practicable.

Clinical findings from patients found to be similar in terms of molecular pathology have been pooled and results presented contribute to an understanding of Mendelian retinal disease that is not only observational but also mechanistic.
