...Senores Representantes," he cried dramatically, "upon resigning irrevocably the supreme command of the republic, I state that I served my country with all the energies of my heart and all the lights of my brain...
Under the supervision of Dr. Stanley Cobb, Dr. F. Fremont Smith and Dr. Hans Zinsser of Harvard's Department of Neuropathology, Dr. Morrison killed five dogs suffering from running fits, made histological brain examination. He found the nuclei of the brain cells broken into bits, with chromatin scattered throughout the cell body. He discovered also great clusters of spider and mossy cells of the neuroglia around the small blood vessels in the white matter of the brain. In normal tissue, these supporting cells should be distributed in rows throughout the white matter. Cell peculiarities of the type found...
...Berger was looking for electrical brain waves. Although for 50 years similar experiments have been performed on animals, this was the first time a man had been subjected to such difficult research. From such experiments Dr. George Washington Crile of Cleveland developed his bipolar theory: the brain is the positive pole, the liver the negative pole of the body (TIME...
...last issue of Der Medizinische Welt, leading German medical journal, Dr. Berger published the results of his experiment. The Elektrenkephalogramm, as Professor Berger called the galvanometer record, showed plainly that the brain produced electricity. Comparison of figures seemed to indicate that electric current decreases as mental activity increases. Dr. Berger distinguished two types of waves, alpha and beta. The alpha waves represented the normal electricity output of an organism when not highly stimulated. The current generated was .2 microvolt. Beta waves represented the brain's electricity production when the subject was stroked by the glass rod, told to figure...
...published in England, J. B. S. Haldane, who had previously written on the subject, recognized 44 passages as his own, rebuked the Earl (TIME, June 2). The latter admitted that there was some truth in the comment, sales jumped, and now the book appears in the U. S., a brain-child of truly distinguished parentage...
