Communication and Education

Abstract

One sometimes hears the statement from experimental physiologists: “The theorists are all parasites,“ or “What have the theorists ever done for us?” I think, by contrast, communication at this symposium has been good and for the following reasons. Very few of the speakers have been guilty of, what is to me, the cardinal sin at such meetings, namely give the sort of paper they would give to a meeting of their own specialists. Then, the theorists have put themselves onto the home ground of the neuro-physiologists.
