Frontispiece, pp. 209-218. Original wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. SIGNED BY U. S. VON EULER (on front wrapper). Offprint of U. S. von Euler's Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1970. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1970 was awarded jointly to Sir Bernard Katz, Ulf von Euler and Julius Axelrod "for their discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanism for their storage, release and inactivation." "Human and animal nervous systems consist of a large variety of cells with long nerve fibers. Small electrical currents and special chemical substances (neurotransmitters) are passed between cells through contacts (synapses). In 1947 Ulf von Euler discovered the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which plays an important role in producing fight-or-flight signals. He subsequently showed that norepinephrine is formed and stored in packages, or vesicles, sent between neurons via synapses" (Nobel Prize website). Seller Inventory # 16412
