1) the hippocampus and midline nuclei; 2) the physiological and ana­

In late June 1960, the joint NIMH-NINDB intramural basic research

program was dissolved and independent intramural basic research

programs were created within each institute. The Laboratory of Neuro­

physiology remained a joint laboratory until a new basic research build­

ing became available for the Sections on Spinal Cord Physiology and

Special Senses to form the nucleus of a new Laboratory of Neurophy­

siology within the NINDB.^11 The NIMH-supported sections of the

laboratory remained intact within the NIMH.
