Advances in the physiology of peripheral nerve

  • D. K. Hill (a1)
Extract

The last 20 years have seen many advances in our knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for the transmission of impulses in peripheral nerve fibres. This has come about largely through researches on the nerves of marine invertebrates. Much of the work has been done at Plymouth. The purpose of this article is to give some of the reasons why certain features of these nerves, which distinguish them from the nerves of vertebrates, should make them so desirable for experimental work.
