One of the most impressive works of scholarship in the field of experimental pharmacology has been the Heffter-Heubner Handbuch der experimentellen Pharmakologie, internationalized some years ago under the title Handbook 0/ Experimental Pharmacology and kept up to date by a series of numbered Ergiin- zungswerke or supplementary volumes which have now replaced in importance the original Handbuch.

The human brain occupies a unique position among the organs of the human body.

The aging process involves changes in neurotransmission at different levels.

Cholesterol is essential for normal cellular function.

The impacts of specifically experienced external and internal environments upon phylogenetically established pathways of ontogenetic development seem to be responsible for the intra-species variation of organisms.

The ability to use tools skillfully is generally regarded as one of the major achievements in the evolutionary development of the human nervous system.

In neurophysiology, the emphasis has been on single-unit studies for a quarter century, since the sensory work by Lettwin and coworkers and by Hubel and Wiesel, the cen- tral work by Mountcastle, the motor work by the late Evarts, and so on.

This book is a result of a Symposium* organized by the Editors in October 1984 at San Diego.

The history of medicine is dotted with the episodic appearance of new discoveries, scientific breakthroughs, and the development of new schools of medicine, and each has contributed to the evolution of the art and science of the practice of medicine.

This book is based on the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "e;Mesenchymal-Epithelial Interactions in Neural Development"e; which was held in Berlin during March 1986.
