B2K Club October 10, 2000 STOCKHOLM (Bangla2000 news-desk/AP) - A Swede and two U.S. researchers won the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday for discoveries about how messages are transmitted between brain cells, work that has paid off for treating Parkinson's disease and depression. Arvid Carlsson, Paul Greengard and Eric Kandel will share the 9 million kronor (dlrs 915,000 prize for their pioneering discoveries concerning one way brain cells send messages to each other, called "slow synaptic transmission." These discoveries have been crucial for understanding how the brain normally works. The work also laid the groundwork for developing the standard treatment for Parkinson's disease and contributed to the development of a class of antidepressants that includes Prozac, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute said. Carlsson, 77, is with the University of Goteborg in Sweden, Greengard, 74, is with Rockefeller University in New York and Kandel, 70, is an Austrian-born U.S. citizen with Columbia University in New York.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, November 12th, 2001 CONTACT: Floyd E. Bloom, M.D. Chief Executive Officer NEUROME, INC. ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF NOBEL LAUREATE, DR. PAUL GREENGARD, TO ITS SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD LA JOLLA, CA – Neurome, Inc. announced today the appointment of Paul Greengard, Ph.D., to its Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Greengard, Astor Professor and head of the Laboratory of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University in New York, is a 2000 Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine, an award recognizing his discovery of the role and mechanism of dopamine and a number of other neurotransmitters in the nervous system. Deficiencies in dopamine lead to Parkinson's disease, and excessive signaling by dopamine can contribute to schizophrenia. Dr. Greengard's discoveries provide a conceptual framework for understanding how the nervous system works at a molecular level. His research has demonstrated that the effects of therapeutic and toxic drugs can be explained through distinct neurochemical actions which affect the transmission of nerve signals in the brain. “We are delighted to have Paul Greengard join Tomas Hökfelt and Leslie Iversen as our founding Scientific Advisory Board,” said Dr. Floyd Bloom, Neurome's chief executive officer. “Well before being awarded the Nobel Prize last year, Dr. Greengard was a recognized leader in the neuroscience community. He has discovered the kinds of proteins and other gene products that Neurome hopes to discover, map and put into perspective with the help of his wisdom.”

WSWS Nobel prize awarded for research into the nervous system, memory and mood By Perla Astudillo 26 October 2000 Use this version to print In Carlsson's experiments, animals were given a substance which blocked the storage of several neurotransmitters. The animals were unable to perform spontaneous movements. He then treated them with L-DOPA, a chemical precursor that is transformed to dopamine in the brain, and they resumed normal behaviour. L-DOPA was developed as a drug for Parkinson's Disease and is still the most important means of treating the disease. Greengard, based at New York's Rockefeller University, revealed the complex ways in which neurotransmitters like dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin function across the gaps between nerve cells known as synapses. His work, which began at the Johns Hopkins biophysics laboratory in 1948, was crucial to understanding the effects of certain drugs on diseases such as schizophrenia. The third Nobel laureate, Kandel, currently University Professor at the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior at Columbia University, extended Greengard's work. Originally born in Austria, Kandel fled the Nazis in 1939 and has since worked in the US. His research has been into the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of memories.

Their work has brought us to the threshold of the 21st century, with hope for even greater progress yet to come. Every person or family who has been touched by mental illness should join in honoring them. Their leadership has produced much of what we know today about how the brain works. Their contributions also have laid a foundation for future scientific break-through. Americans should be especially proud of the role of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in supporting the research of Paul Greengard and Eric Kandel. The honor which they will receive represents a fulfillment of the agency's mission and a call to even greater achievement.

They are connected to each other through an infinitely complex network of nerve processes. The message from one nerve cell to another is transmitted through different chemical transmitters. The signal transduction takes place in special points of contact, called synapses. A nerve cell can have thousands of such contacts with other nerve cells. The three Nobel Laureates in Physiology or Medicine have made pioneering discoveries concerning one type of signal transduction between nerve cells, referred to as slow synaptic transmission. These discoveries have been crucial for an understanding of the normal function of the brain and how disturbances in this signal transduction can give rise to neurological and psychiatric diseases. These findings have resulted in the development of new drugs. Arvid Carlsson , Department of Pharmacology, University of Gothenburg is rewarded for his discovery that dopamine is a transmitter in the brain and that it has great importance for our ability to control movements. His research has led to the realization that Parkinson's disease is caused by a lack of dopamine in certain parts of the brain and that an efficient remedy (L-dopa) for this disease could be developed. Arvid Carlsson has made a number of subsequent discoveries, which have further clarified the role of dopamine in the brain. He has thus demonstrated the mode of action of drugs used for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Their statement predicts that our security depends on immediate environmental and social reform. The following is the text of their statement: THE STATEMENT: The most profound danger to world peace in the coming years will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed. Of these poor and disenfranchised, the majority live a marginal existence in equatorial climates. Global warming, not of their making but originating with the wealthy few, will affect their fragile ecologies most. Their situation will be desperate and manifestly unjust.

Statement by 40 Nobel Laureates Regarding Cloning NATIONAL OFFICE: 8120 Woodmont Avenue, Suite 750 Bethesda, Maryland 20814-2762 TEL: 301/347-9300  FAX 301/347-9310  E-MAIL ascbinfo@ascb.org www.ascb.org Two National Academy of Sciences expert committees, as well as noted national and international organizations, have evaluated current scientific and medical information and have concluded that cloning a human being using the method of nuclear transplantation cannot be achieved safely. Such attempts in other mammals often have catastrophic outcomes.  Furthermore, virtually nothing is known about the potential safety of such procedures in humans. Consequently, there is widespread and strong agreement that an attempt to clone a human being would constitute unwarranted experimentation on human subjects and should be prohibited by legislation that imposes criminal and civil penalties on those who would implant the product of nuclear transplantation into a woman’s uterus. Unfortunately, some legislation, such as that introduced by Senator Brownback (R-KS) would foreclose the legitimate use of nuclear transplantation technology for research and therapeutic purposes. This would impede progress against some of the most debilitating diseases known to man. For example, it may be possible to use nuclear transplantation technology to produce patient-specific embryonic stem cells that could overcome the rejection normally associated with tissue and organ transplantation.  Nuclear transplantation technology might also permit the creation of embryonic stem cells with defined genetic constitution, permitting a new and powerful approach to understanding how inherited predispositions lead to a variety of cancers and neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

Although the statement began circulating among the laureates last summer, most of them signed it after September 11. The most profound danger to world Peace in the coming years will stem not from the irrational acts of states or individuals but from the legitimate demands of the world's dispossessed. Of these poor and disenfranchised, the majority live a marginal existence in equatorial climates. Global warming, not of their making but originating with the wealthy few, will affect their fragile ecologies most. Their situation will be desperate and manifestly unjust. It cannot be expected, therefore, that in all cases they will be content to await the beneficence of the rich. If then we permit the devastating power of modern weaponry to spread through this combustible human landscape, we invite a conflagration that can engulf both rich and poor. The only hope for the future lies in cooperative international action, legitimized by democracy. It is time to turn our backs on the unilateral search for security, in which we seek to shelter behind walls. Instead, we must persist in the quest for united action to counter both global warming and a weaponized world.
