hear that, at

of the Ameri

just held in New York City
a number of the men who
read papers told of studies of
lhe chemistry of the brain of
sick persons, as compared
with the chemistry of the
brain of well persons.
Others had studied the
amount of certain Important
chemicals in the blood or in

men who arc interested in
troubles of the brain have
given up the habit of just sit
ting in an armchair and spin
ning theories. A new group of
young psychiatrists are now
going into laboratories, and
with the help of the technics
of chemistry and physics, are
gathering actual facts. Many
belong to the new Society of
Biological Psychiatry.
Most of us have heard of
Adrenalin (epinephrine)
which is a very important and
powerful constituent of the
blood which is likely to pour
out of the adrenal gland into
our blood when we get angry,
or when we have to fnce some
grave emergency. Recently

Now a related substance
called dopamine has been
found, and students of brain
function are studying its ef
fects. They are much inter
ested, also, in a substance
called serotonin which has
something to do with making
our brains work normally
Many studies are now being
made to see if a man suffering
from insanity may perhaps be
poisoned by an excess of some
chemical substance in his
blood or is brain.
Already, differences are
being found in the bloods of
sane and insane persons, and
studies are being made to
show why certain chemicals
have a bad effect on the brain
and others have a good, calm
ing effect.
At a meeting in New York
City, there was a paper on the
chemistry of the body in pa
tients with Parkinson's dis
ease. This is a new approach
to the problem which later
may give direction to the
work of those chemists who
are constantly hunting for
drugs that will relieve the
distresses of the person who
suffers from a tremor and
stiff muscles.
Another paper on the pro
gram was on the excretion of
amino acids (fragments of the
proteins in animal tissues) in
children with petit mal, the
minor form of epilepsy.
Definite abormalitics were
found, and this is very inter
esting and suggestive for fu
ture research.
Also, in the cases nf people
with familial periodic paraly
sis (a strange disease in which
certain members of a family
will suddenly and temporarily
become paralyzed), it was
found that there is more than
the normal amount of potas
sium in the blood.
Very interesting was a
paper in which Drs. William
A. Sibley, Howard J. Tucker,
and Clark T. Randt reported
that half of 40 children with
a form of petit nial (the child
becomes more or less uncon
scious for a few seconds sev
eral times a day) in which the
spells could not be stopped
with the help nf the drugs
usually given, were practical
ly cured with Quinacrine,
which is a synthetic remedy
used to cure malaria. Strange
ly, it sometimes helps greatly
in cases of generalized lupus
erythematosus la rare dis
ease). The Important and very
hopeful fact that came out of
this great conference is that
psychiatry is coming out of
the long period in which there
was little besides repetition
and amplification of improb-
l able theories, and is now
going Into a period in which
every year a number of fasci
nating, new, chemical discov
eries are being made.
Also, the 40-vcar long abso
lute taboo of any menlion of
the heredity of mental
troubles is breaking down. In
the last six years, a tremen
dous advance has taken place
in the study of the genetics
of the diseases of man, and
two big bonks on psychiatry
have come nut with good
chapters on the heredity of j
menial troubles. j
