Henry Dale received the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine in 1936 with Otto Loewi for their research which proved chemical synaptic transmission in the peripheral nervous system. Subsequently there was an extended period of controversy between advocates of chemical and electrical transmission before the chemical process was established in the central and peripheral nervous system. This debate and its final resolution was one of the most crucial in the history of neuroscience in the 20th century.
1936年，亨利·戴尔与奥托·勒维因他们的研究获得了诺贝尔生理学或医学奖，该研究证明了外周神经系统中的化学突触传递。随后，在中枢和外周神经系统中确立化学传递过程之前，化学传递和电传递的支持者之间存在了一段很长时间的争议。这场争论及其最终解决是20世纪神经科学史上最关键的事件之一。
