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...

Like an opulent genius of creation, the city sketches a hundred finely shaded variations on a common human type, stages a thousand impromptu confrontations from dawn to dawn. All this is the adrenaline of drama, and in the U.S., only New York provides...
...factor in the Faculty's decision. "The problem went much deeper than that," he said. "It was a very complex matter, and we went through great thought and deliberation. But personal style was not an issue. We have fifty men on the Faculty, and you can find any type there that you want...
