The reason why a nerve grows in the right direction, said Dr. Burr, probably is due to an electrical attrac- tion in that part of the brain to which This attraction he attributed to a bio-electric field, created by cell di- | vision activity in the brain cells where | the growing nerve was due to arrive. | Anything interfering with this cell activity reduced the attraction and the nerve wandered.
