Alcohol on the Brain" showed how
fibers connect all parts of the brain so
that 1t acts as Il whole. 1t was desired
to find out whether the brain as n
whole works rs well with alcohol rs
without. One way of testing this was
by testing the reaction time. the length
taken in perceiving n given signal. ue
tried n ccmplex experiment, showing n
signal with number on 1t which was
not to be slgnnlcd back unless it was
above ten. This took longer, involving
association of ideas, and the time from
the very first was prolonged by alcohol
Professor Horslcy said that chloro-
form, ether, nitrous oxide and similar
narcotics acted III the same way. Al
cohol produced a dissolution of the
nerve centers.
