Abstract
Electroshock therapy, first introduced to this country by Fleming, Golla and Grey Walter in 1939, has long passed its period of probation and is now universally accepted as active and effective. Yet its mode of action is still unknown. The variety of theories propounded to explain its action establishes only the degree of our uncertainty. To advance our knowledge of its mode of action has been the aim of the work described in this paper.Keywords
