{\em ``Every physiological teaching on the working of the brain based on
localisation, no matter how excellent, leaves us ignorant about the
mechanism of mental activity. These actions are certainly accompanied by
molecular modifications in nerve cells and preceded by complex changes in
the relationship between neurones. To understand mental activity it is
necessary to understand these molecular modifications and changes in
neuronal relationships. One must know, of course, the complete and exact
histology of cerebral centres and their tracts. But that is not enough; it
will be necessary to know the energetic transformations which accompany
perception and thought, consciousness and emotion.''}
