| Title | Brown, Sir George Lindor: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Early work was devoted to the study of the motor innervation of the stomach. This led to an investigation of transmission through sympathetic ganglia, and this in turn, to a study of transmission from nerve to skeletal muscle. Modern electrical methods were applied to the analysis of the responses of excitable tissues to chemical agents, and so helped to give a sound basis to the conception of chemical transmission. This was followed by a study of the comparative physiology of nerve muscle. The knowledge of normal function so obtained was applied to the elucidation of the underlying fault in disease of the neuro-muscular system. Brown's war research has been of great scientific interest and practical importance. |
