Research priorities
At the beginning of his activity, Lullies mainly researched questions of muscle and nerve physiology. The measurements of the polarization of the muscle and nerve membranes, which he began, were later continued by Alan Lloyd Hodgkin , Andrew Fielding Huxley and John Carew Eccles . For this they received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1963. Lullies also published papers on respiratory, voice and speech physiology. The first X-ray cinematographic representation of the living bronchial tree comes from him.
