within this section also focused on using Fluothane as an anesthetic agent,
anesthesiology and surgical technicology involved in the separation of
the craniopagus, and the use of succinyl choline in awake craniotomy.^13
In 1958, Hall resigned and left for an associate professorship in anes
thesiology at Duke University.^14 The section remained within the Surgical
Neurology Branch although no official chief was appointed thereafter.
Finally, the Section on Primate Neurology was also established in
1956 to study: 1) the effects of specific temporal and frontal excisions
on communication capabilities in chimpanzees; 2) the effects of hallu
cinogenic agents upon higher primates after removal of specific areas of
brain; 3) the effects of low temperature on epileptic discharges in the lim
bic system and on frontal and central cortex electrical activity; 4) deep
nuclei of temporal lobe; and 5) the effects of radio frequency energy on
primate brain mechanisms.^15
