TitleMatthews, Sir Bryan Harold Cabot: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionDate stamp on reverse
CitationBy his design of instruments and development of experimental methods Matthews has greatly influenced the progress of electrophysiology. His own investigations have shown a high degree of originality and clear thinking, besides experimental skill. He has added much to our knowledge of the sense organs and his recent work on the spinal cord has revealed a new kind of interaction between neurons, clearly an important factor in the mechanism of the nervous system.
