April 27, 1977 Committee on Awards, Grants in Aid of Research Sigma Xi National Headquarters 345 Whitney Avenue New Haven, Connecticut, 065ll Gentlemen: like to endorse the application of Mr. Jay Schneider of the effects of ACTH 4—10 on the EEG and DC recording characteristics in monkeys. I have known Mr. Schneider for half a year, as he has been associated with Dr. John Stamm and Mr. Oliver Gillespie in their studies of ACTH H-lO. Mr. Schneider will graduate from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in June, and is matriculated as a graduate student in psychology at this University for September, 1977. During the past year he has been an active collaborator in the studies of ACTH #10 and he proposes to continue these studies next year. His interest in the problem has been stimulated by Mr. Gillespie, his by rand readings. I have been a consultant to the project and in the late fall, I invited Dr. Henk van Riezen of Oss, Holland to visit the project at the University. The meeting was fruitful fOr it clarified the direction of the research and the present work is an outgrowth of that I should for support of . session. a study ' studies of the effects of peptides on memory and brain functions are derived from the work of David de Wied of the University of Utrecht. I have been doing some of the human assays in my laboratory and stimulated the present efforts by Stamm and his colleagues. The significance of the work is well defined: the effects of ACTH 4—10 seem to prevent the extinction of a learned response. It provides an interesting opportunity for clinical studies in patients with memory deficits due to aging and as a result of electroconvulsive therapy. We are pursuing both leads clinically. The work proposed here should provide a neurophysiologic underpinning for the clinical studies. Mr. Schneider is working in a well equipped laboratory under experienced and competent direction. The funds requested will permit the present efforts to continue; to expand the measurements of changes induced in the EEG and in DC recordings from brain areas not studied well before, the prefrontal and infratemporal cortex. In the rapidly expanding field of peptide studies, I think that these exercises at this University will be most.helpful in understanding the effects of these substances on brain functions.
