| Title | Bulbring, Edith: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Certificate of Election |
| Citation | Has been the first to study smooth muscle by intracellular electrodes in relation to tension changes and has added greatly to knowledge of its oxygen consumption. She demonstrated the conversion of noradrenaline to adrenaline in the adrenal medulla, and the action of adrenaline in sympathetic ganglia, in skeletal muscle (using the phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation) and in the central nervous system. Her work on acetylcholine synthesis in rabbit atria is a fundamental link between biochemical process and function. Her demonstration of the action of adrenaline on and its liberation from the perfused cervical ganglion is an important contribution to neurophysiology. |
