This is a full report of a very successful international symposium which brought together a diversified group of neurophysiologists who work upon a variety of topics that include: spinal mechanisms (Eccles, Granit, Brookhart, and Hagbarth); the nonspecific or reticular system (Adey, Anokhin, Dell, Jasper, Magoun, and Narikashvili); tha'amic and cortical potentials (the Fessards, Jung, and Buser); averaging techniques (Brazier); retinal discharge (Arduini); voluntary movements in higher vertebrates (Beritashvili); transcranial study of cortical potentials evoked by photic stimulation (Gastaut); responses in human subjects during conditioning (Grey-Walter).
