Bemerkung: Letters from the mid-1940s relate to Eccles' visit to Chicago and to Gerard's visit to Australia and New Zealand, both in 1945. Reference to Gerard's lab work on the neuromuscular junction (esp on single muscle fibre membrane potential). Letters from 1950 include some scathing comments on cybernetics. 5.9.45: Eccles voices a "widespread fear of a too rapid [US] advance" in research after the end of the war. Reports of recent work in the lab: "We are reopening the whole transmission story, and I think can now define pretty accurately the role of Ach in the transmission and show that it plays a minor role even at the neuro-muscular junction." Announces an electrical hypothesis of n-m transmission to appear in Nature. He was "stimulated to develop this hypothesis by a course of lectures on scientific methodology given here by Dr. Karl Popper in May" 24.5.50: Eccles announces his move to the Australian National University in Canberra. On the research side, the group is "concentrating largely on the monosynaptic reflex [and] though confirming and extending Lloyd's findings, we can falsify his theory and indicate lines of a new and interesting theoretical development"
