Zusammenfassung
Es wird die Hypothese aufgestellt, wonach alle nervösen Prozesse auf Ligandenkomplexierung mit Rezeptordisulfiden und/oder Sulfhydrylprotomeren der Nervenmembranen beruhen und diese Prozesse mit Reduktions- bzw. Oxydationsprozessen gekoppelt sein könnten. Lernprozesse würden auf dem gleichen Mechanismus beruhen.
