THE SERIES The 10 volumes in this series record a fifty year
history of neuropsychopharmacology related by 213 pioneer clinical,
academic, industrial and basic scientists in videotaped interviews,
conducted by 66 colleagues between 1994 and 2008. These volumes
include a preface by the series editor placing its contents in an
historical context and linking each volume to the next. Each volume
is dedicated to a former President of the ACNP and edited by a
distinguished historian or Fellow of the College who provides an
introduction to its themes and a biography of each scientist's
career. The series provides insights into a half century of
discovery and innovation with its rewards and disappointments,
progress and setbacks, including future expectations and hopes for
the field as a whole and the ACNP as an organization. IN THIS
VOLUME In Volume 1, 22 pioneers reflect on their contributions to
the "Starting Up" of neuropsychopharmacology in the 1950s, using
behavioral methodology to detect differences in the pharmacological
profile of newly introduced psychotropic drugs. In Volume 2,
"Neurophysiology," the emphasis shifts to the detection of the
action of drugs on the functional activity of the brain. Volume 2
is divided into two parts. In Part One (Electrophysiology), 15
interviewees reflect on their contributions to the detection of the
effect of drugs on the electrical activity of the brain and in Part
Two (Brain Imaging), 5 interviewees talk about their contributions
to the study of cerebral blood flow and brain metabolism Dedicated
to the memory of Jonathan O. Cole, President, 1966, Volume 2 is
edited by Max Fink, a leading American psychiatrist who was
instrumental in the introduction of "pharmaco-EEG," using digital
computer analysis of the electroencephalogram to identify active
psychotherapeutic drugs following the model of the association of
EEG and behavior in man.
