Discovered
that neurons are able to learn Idealized a new perfusion system Nuevo sistema de perfusion con la preparación
cardiopulmonar. Algunos aspectos de la regulación de la glicemia. Thesis, 1936 With A.
Rosenblueth demonstrated that during prolonged stimulation of a motor nerve,
neuromuscular fatigue is followed by a rise of tension known as Rosenblueth
phenomenon (1939) With A.
Rosenblueth discovered fifth step in neuromuscular transmission Enunciated paradigm of short and large nerve With C.
