Abstract

Alcohol intoxication (ethyl alcohol), in man as in experimental animals, leads to a clear increase in blood cholesterin. This state of hypercholesterinemia constitutes a starting point to explain the organic lesions that accompany chronic alcoholism.

    The first historians of psychology in Argentina and Latin America have laconically mentioned the presence of Virgilio Ducceschi on the map of the initiators of experimental psychology. For many years the trail of this medical physiologist who would lay the foundations of experimental psychology in Córdoba, Argentina, was lost. Ducceschi's pioneering work in Latin America, more precisely in Córdoba, involved the teaching of psychology in the chair of experimental psychology that he created in 1907, as well as the creation of a new apparatus for psychological experiments: the mental recorder (1910). The chair of physiology, in which Ducceschi began to serve from 1906, was created by Dr. De Grandis, the same one who guided the creation of the famous laboratory of Horacio Piñero in Buenos Aires.
