Extract

Biochemical research has continued in spite of the war and considerable advances have been reported during the period under review. While the task of applying this new biochemical knowledge in the field of psychiatry has hardly yet begun, the underlying chemical mechanisms concerned in nervous activity are becoming considerably clearer and a few beginnings in this direction have been made.
