Calyx of Held nervous system has allowed for direct research within a mammalian model and the large size increases the ease of electrophysiological recording. For these reasons it has been popular in understanding transmitter release. Specifically, the calyx of Held is used because of: Calyx of Held The Calyx of Held is a particularly large synapse in the mammalian auditory central nervous system, so named by Hans Held in his 1893 article "Die centrale Gehörleitung" because of its resemblance to the calyx of a flower. Globular bushy cells in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus (AVCN) send axons to the contralateral medial nucleus of the
A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland began as a collaboration between Smith and George Shaw. Together they produced a two-part work entitled "Zoology and Botany of New Holland", with each part containing two zoology plates and two botany plates, along with accompanying text. These appeared in 1793, although the publications themselves indicate 1794. The collaboration then ended, and Shaw went on to independently produce his "Zoology of New Holland". Smith's contributions to "Zoology and Botany of New Holland" became the first two parts of "A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland", a further two parts of which were issued in 1795. The book contained details
