That chemicals (although not always called by this name) affect the
brain and its functions, such as behavior, has been known for
thousands of years. It is therefore surprising that the concept
that chemical mechanisms are at least partially responsible for the
complex functions of the brain is so recent. Investigation of the
closely interlinked biophysical and biochemical proper ties of the
nervous system has achieved many notable successes in recent years
and is the most exciting development in 20th-century science.
Although all the morphology, the activity, and the alteration of
the brain, whether bioelectric, biochemical, pathological, or
structural, constitute an organic and indivisible whole, the
ambition of the Handbook is to look at only a few aspects of this
whole and to focus the discussions on the experi ments that the
neurochemists have performed. Neurochemical study of the nervous
system has, perhaps of necessity, gone through several phases: the
first phase was more analytical and in volved study of the
composition of the tissue; the second, more recent phase clarified
many of the metabolic sequences that occur in this tissue. Clearly,
both were essential, but they showed that additional approaches are
neces sary. The present phase seems to be the study of control
processes; present interest focuses on what determines, in a
qualitative and quantitative fashion, the processes occurring in
the nervous system. Perhaps the next phase will be the study of
function, the study of the final stage of integration.
