Chronological events of scientific exploration (Neurohumoral transmission)

CHRONOLOGICAL EVENTS OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION (NEUROHUMORAL TRANSMISSION) 

Lewandousky (1899)

Administered extracts of the adrenal glands pointed towards the concept of chemical transmission

Elliott (1904-05)

Worked out similarities between stimulation of sympathetic nerves, administration of adrenal extracts and epinephrine

Dixon (1907)

Similarity between muscarine alkaloids and vagal stimulation

Sir Henry Dale (1914)

Similarities between choline esters and Ach coined "muscarinic and nicotinic"

Otto Loewi (1920)

Obtained first real proof of chemical neurotransmissions

Noble Laureates

Dale (1936)

Fundamental contributions to concept of chemical Neurotransmission
