Extract

The subject of fatigue, rest, and sleep cannot be approached without reference to the theory which has revolutionised our ideas of cerebral activity-the neuron theory of Waldeyer and Ramon y Cajal. This theory is certainly “in the air,” and despite the adverse views of notable histologists such as Apathy, Bethe, Dogiel, Donnagio, and Hill as regards its universal applicability, it has, I think, come to stay with us, as have the cycle, motor, submarine, and probably we may shortly say the aeroplane. Arguments, pro and con., are scarcely called for here, but there are a few points which I cannot omit reference to.
