EDITORIAL

ESSAYS ON APS CLASSIC PAPERS

Honoring Our Past

This issue presents the first essays that form part of the Journal of Neurophysiology's participation in the American Physiological Society's Classic Papers series. The five essays that appear in this issue are the first of a number of essays that are part of an ongoing process to honor some of the most important papers published in the Journal of Neurophysiology. In singling these papers out, we make no statement that these papers are "more important" than many others that have not been yet so honored, but that these papers are significant parts of the history of our field. As time goes on, we will publish additional essays honoring others of our classic papers. I hope that in so doing we will inform our students and ourselves of how we have come to know what we know. Moreover, I hope that these essays will serve to remind us all of the very many brilliant and committed men and women who put the first electrodes into brains and understood so much with, by today's standards, very limited equipment. I always find it humbling and edifying to read the best of the early papers, and with our Classic Papers essays we wish, in this day of electronic mail and pressures for rapid publication, to celebrate the roots of our knowledge.
