  • The Creation of Neuroscience
    The Creation of Neuroscience The Society for Neuroscience and the Quest for Disciplinary Unity 1969-1995 Introduction rom the molecular biology of a single neuron to the breathtakingly complex circuitry of the entire human nervous system, our understanding of the brain and how it works has undergone radical F changes over the past century. These advances have brought us tantalizingly closer to genu- inely mechanistic and scientifically rigorous explanations of how the brain’s roughly 100 billion neurons, interacting through trillions of synaptic connections, function both as single units and as larger ensem- bles. The professional field of neuroscience, in keeping pace with these important scientific develop- ments, has dramatically reshaped the organization of biological sciences across the globe over the last 50 years. Much like physics during its dominant era in the 1950s and 1960s, neuroscience has become the leading scientific discipline with regard to funding, numbers of scientists, and numbers of trainees. Furthermore, neuroscience as fact, explanation, and myth has just as dramatically redrawn our cultural landscape and redefined how Western popular culture understands who we are as individuals. In the 1950s, especially in the United States, Freud and his successors stood at the center of all cultural expla- nations for psychological suffering. In the new millennium, we perceive such suffering as erupting no longer from a repressed unconscious but, instead, from a pathophysiology rooted in and caused by brain abnormalities and dysfunctions. Indeed, the normal as well as the pathological have become thoroughly neurobiological in the last several decades. In the process, entirely new vistas have opened up in fields ranging from neuroeconomics and neurophilosophy to consumer products, as exemplified by an entire line of soft drinks advertised as offering “neuro” benefits.

Born in Wales in 1912, Richard Llewelyn-Davies was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, !'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Architectural Association in London. In 1960 he began a fif­ teen-year association with University College of the University of London as Professor of Architecture, Professor of Town Planning, Head of the Bartlett School of Architecture and Dean of the School of Environmental Studies. He became, in 1967, the initial chair­ man of Britain's Centre for Environmental Studies, one of the world's leading research organizations on urbanism, and held that post for the rest of his life. He combined his academic career with professional practice in England, the Middle East, Africa, Paki­ stan, North and South America. In the fall of 1980, the year before he died, Richard Llewelyn­ Davies came to the Institute for Advanced Study. He influenced us in many ways, from a reorientation of the seating arrangement in the seminar room improving discussion and exchange, to the per­ manent implantation of an environmental sensibility.

    Dynamics of Current, Charge and Mass Bob Eisenberg Department of Applied Mathematics Illinois Institute of Technology USA Department of Physiology and Biophysics Rush University USA [email protected] Xavier Oriols Departament d’Enginyeria Electrònica, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, SPAIN [email protected] David Ferry School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering Arizona State University USA [email protected] Available on arXivhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1708.07400 at September 6, 2017 ABSTRACT Electricity plays a special role in our lives and life. The dynamics of electrons allow light to flow through a vacuum. The equations of electron dynamics are nearly exact and apply from nuclear particles to stars. These Maxwell equations include a special term, the displacement current (of a vacuum). The displacement current allows electrical signals to propagate through space. Displacement current guarantees that current is exactly conserved from inside atoms to between stars, as long as current is defined as the entire source of the curl of the magnetic field, as Maxwell did. We show that the Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics allows the easy definition of current without the mysteries of the theory of quantum measurements. We show how conservation of current can be derived without mention of the polarization or dielectric properties of matter. We point out that displacement current is handled correctly in electrical engineering by ‘stray capacitances’, although it is rarely discussed explicitly. Matter does not behave as physicists of the 1800's thought it did. They could only measure on a time scale of seconds and tried to explain dielectric properties and polarization with a single dielectric constant, a real positive number independent of everything.

Preprint (not copyedited or formatted) Please use DOI when citing or quoting: https://doi- org.proxy.wexler.hunter.cuny.edu/10.1017/S0269889714000313 The Birth of Information in the Brain: Edgar Adrian and the Vacuum Tube Word Count: 10, 418 Abstract: As historian Henning Schmidgen notes, the scientific study of the nervous system would have been ‘unthinkable’ without the industrialization of communication in the 1830s. Historians have investigated extensively the way nerve physiologists have borrowed concepts and tools from the field of communications, particularly regarding the nineteenth-century work of figures like Helmholtz and in the American Cold War Era. The following focuses specifically on the interwar research of the Cambridge physiologist Edgar Douglas Adrian, and on the technology that led to his Nobel-Prize- winning research, the thermionic vacuum tube. Many countries used the vacuum tube during the war for the purpose of amplifying and intercepting coded messages. These events provided a context for Adrian’s evolving understanding of the nerve fiber in the 1920s. In particular, they provide the background for Adrian’s transition around 1926 to describing the nerve impulse in terms of “information,” “messages,” “signals,” or even “codes,” and for translating the basic principles of the nerve, such as the all-or-none principle and adaptation, into such an “informational” context. The following also places Adrian’s research in the broader context of the changing relationship between science and technology, and between physics and physiology, in the first few decades of the twentieth century.

  • HISTORICAL SURVEY SOME PIONEERS of the APPLICATIONS of FRACTIONAL CALCULUS Duarte Valério 1, José Tenreiro Machado 2, Virginia
    HISTORICAL SURVEY SOME PIONEERS OF THE APPLICATIONS OF FRACTIONAL CALCULUS Duarte Val´erio 1,Jos´e Tenreiro Machado 2, Virginia Kiryakova 3 Abstract In the last decades fractional calculus (FC) became an area of intensive research and development. This paper goes back and recalls important pio- neers that started to apply FC to scientific and engineering problems during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Those we present are, in alphabet- ical order: Niels Abel, Kenneth and Robert Cole, Andrew Gemant, Andrey N. Gerasimov, Oliver Heaviside, Paul L´evy, Rashid Sh. Nigmatullin, Yuri N. Rabotnov, George Scott Blair. MSC 2010 : Primary 26A33; Secondary 01A55, 01A60, 34A08 Key Words and Phrases: fractional calculus, applications, pioneers, Abel, Cole, Gemant, Gerasimov, Heaviside, L´evy, Nigmatullin, Rabotnov, Scott Blair 1. Introduction In 1695 Gottfried Leibniz asked Guillaume l’Hˆopital if the (integer) order of derivatives and integrals could be extended. Was it possible if the order was some irrational, fractional or complex number? “Dream commands life” and this idea motivated many mathematicians, physicists and engineers to develop the concept of fractional calculus (FC). Dur- ing four centuries many famous mathematicians contributed to the theo- retical development of FC. We can list (in alphabetical order) some im- portant researchers since 1695 (see details at [1, 2, 3], and posters at http://www.math.bas.bg/∼fcaa): c 2014 Diogenes Co., Sofia pp. 552–578 , DOI: 10.2478/s13540-014-0185-1 SOME PIONEERS OF THE APPLICATIONS . 553 • Abel, Niels Henrik (5 August 1802 - 6 April 1829), Norwegian math- ematician • Al-Bassam, M.

So okay this is David Miller, it’s the 12th August 2014 and we’re are in Leicester at the home of Professor Ron Whittam and we’re here to record for the oral history project of the Physiological Society. So, also here is Richard Naftalin whose voice you’ll hear and Ron Whittam himself, of course. So we’re going to run through elements of Ron’s life and background as he wishes to cover in the usual way. So that’s enough from me.
