Abstract
In 1957 Krantz, Truitt, Ling and Speers found that the inhalation of small amounts of hexafluorodiethyl ether (Indoklon) produced convulsions in animals, and it was later used as a therapeutic convulsant for the treatment of psychiatric patients (Krantz, Truitt, Speers and Ling, 1957).This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
