..., he investigated sensory function in the frog’s sciatic nerve. He demonstrated the refractory period and the nature of the nerve action potential. He was rewarded in 1929 with the Foulerton Professorship of the Royal Society. In 1937, he was elected Professor of Physiology at Cambridge...

... of potential duration with advancing age. (3) No significant relationship between refractory period (latency and amplitude of the test response) and advancing age up to 70 years. The results are discussed in terms of their clinical meaning. Eur. Neurol. 15: 85-93 (1977) Refractory Period of Human Sural Nerve...

...W. Tackmann; H.J. Lehmann Relative and absolute refractory periods were determined in sensory fibres of 24 median nerves and in 19 sural nerves of 30 volunteers aged 20–60 years, who had no sign of a neuromuscular disorder. The critical interval of conduction (absolute refractory period) was found...
