"This volume, in my view, should prove to be a landmark
publication. Farreras and her colleagues have thrown available
light onto what will prove to be a rich field of historical
research and historically informed science policy." - Wade E.
Pickren, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences This
volume breaks new ground in assessing the intramural research
conducted at the United States National Institute of Mental Health
and the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness
(today the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)
in the 1950s. The research conducted in these institutes was
pioneering and laid the foundation for current neuroscience and
behavioural research. Dr. Ingrid Farreras uses the records of the
time and also oral histories conducted with retired institute
scientists to present the institutional context in which the
research was conducted. Topics in her discussion include the
history of the United States Public Health Service, the creation of
the two institutes at the National Institutes of Health, the
organization of their extramural and intramural research programs,
and brief summaries of the research that the fifteen laboratories
and branches of both institutes conducted during the 1950s. Twelve
noted scientists involved in neurological and mental health
research then provide their unique, first-hand accounts of their
experiences at the NIH. The volume also contains four appendices
providing information about the organizational structure of the two
institutes, the scientists who worked there, citations of
illustrative landmark papers that were published based on their
research, and selected primary and secondary resources related to
the history of these institutes. The aim of the volume is to foster
continuing additional descriptive and analytical research on the
history of biomedical sciences in the areas of neurology and mental
health in the mid twentieth century.
