TitleEccles, Sir John Carew: certificate of election to the Royal Society
DescriptionDate stamp on reverse
CitationPhysiologist - has a medical degree. University demonstrator in Physiology, Oxford. Distinguished for his researches in physiology, especially as bearing on nerve and muscle and the central nervous system. His experimental work has contributed new facts and fresh views of already established facts, and has also given new steps of technique and opened some new lines of approach to laboratory means. In instance of these: the very approximately true form of the isometric mammalian twitch-contraction; the 'back-fire' test for nerve cells; the blood-filled electrode-box for cut mammalian nerve; but there are many others. His papers have for some years constituted a practically continuous series of contributions to the study of fundamental physiological reactions of nerve. The originality of his views and treatment have exerted a wide influence both within and outside the group of his own immediate pupils and collaborators. He is a Fellow and Tutor of Magdalen College, Oxford.
