This project aims to produce a narrative history of research on synaptic transmission from the early 1890s through the present, the period which saw research from a wide spectrum of life sciences coalesce into the amalgam that is contemporary neuroscience. The main purpose of the study is to describe who did what, when and how, while a secondary purpose is to consider the nature of scientific knowledge and how it is formed from the diverse, conflicting and fallible reports that appear in print. The study will rely mainly on close examination of published material, augmented by formal, taped interviews with scientists and some examination of other documents.

这个项目的目的是产生一个从19世纪90年代初到现在的突触传递研究的叙述性历史，这一时期看到了来自广泛的生命科学的研究融合成当代神经科学的混合物。 这项研究的主要目的是描述谁做了什么，何时以及如何做的，而次要目的是考虑科学知识的性质，以及它是如何从印刷品中出现的各种各样的，相互矛盾的和错误的报告中形成的。 这项研究将主要依靠对已发表材料的仔细审查，并通过对科学家的正式录音采访和对其他文件的一些审查加以补充。
