Abstract
In 1922 Tashiro found that on incubation of frog sciatic nerve under aerobic conditions, a gaseous substance in addition to carbon dioxide was produced. He further showed that this other substance was ammonia, and was able to demonstrate that very small amounts of this substance were liberated as an end product of nerve metabolism under the particular experimental conditions.
