Study in man is vastly complicated by the fact that the human brain contains an estimated 10 billion nerve cells called neurons, and another 100 billion of a second type called glial cells. The fluid bath in which they are suspended is an important element in their electrochemical interactions. Moreover, said Sweden's Dr. Holger Hydén, one big neuron may have on its surface as many as 10,000 points of contact (synaptic knobs) with other neurons (see chart). But by means of exquisitely delicate instrumentation and an electron microscope, Dr. Hydén has discovered that...

His first LP was No. 6 on the U.S. charts for a while; last week his second...

...Chemical Co. produces some 800 items from measles vaccine to brake fluid. It also produces the napalm used in Viet Nam-a fact that has set off near riots on several college campuses as 'antiwar demonstrators tried to prevent Dow job recruiters from interviewing students.
