McGill College I did honors mathematics and physics, partly to find out why nothing worked in electronics, but mainly because it was more fun to do problems than to learn facts. I still much prefer to do science than to read about it. I graduated in 1947 and, almost on the toss of a coin, despite never having taken a course in biology (even in high school, where it was considered a subject only for those who could not do Latin or mathematics) I applied to Medical School at McGill. Rather to my horror I was accepted. At first I found it very difficult, given my total ignorance of biology and the need to memorize every muscular insertion in the body. I spent summers at the Montreal Neurological Institute doing electronics (I now had the theoretical basis but still no talent with a soldering iron) and there I became fascinated by the nervous system - small wonder considering that this was the period of culmination of the work of Penfield and Jasper. To my surprise I also found I enjoyed clinical medicine: it took three years of hospital training after graduation, (a year of internship and two of residency in neurology) before that interest finally wore off. The years of hospital training were interrupted by a year of clinical neurophysiology under Herbert Jasper, who was unequalled for his breadth and clarity of thinking in brain science.

Discoveries concerning " visual system ": Biographical sketch of David H. Hubel Jose A. Gutierrez Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals, Department of Animal Science and Food Technology Texas Tech University Lubbock, TX. 79409-2141 Abstract David H. Hubel was born in 1926 in Windsor, Canada. In 1951 he received a medical degree from McGill University. From 1955-1958 he worked at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research with Torsten N. Wiesel. Hubel and Wiesel found in their studies of the visual cortex that the cells are arranged in a regular manner in columns, and that the cells within each such column have the same functions in interpreting the impulse message from the eyes. (Klinika 1999) Hubel and Wiesel were also able to show by their experiments that the ability of the cells in the visual cortex to interpret the code of the impulse message from the retina is developed directly after birth. On October 9, 1981 The Nobel Assembly of Karolinska Institutet decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with one half to Roger W. Sperry for his discoveries concerning "the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres" and the other half jointly to David H. Hubel

NYR Books The New York Review of Books June 27, 1985 Letter AN OPEN LETTER TO GENERAL JARUZELSKI By Arno Penzias Czeslaw Milosz Daniel Nathans David H. Hubel ... William A. Fowler As members of the international community of intellectuals and scholars we are shocked by the recent indictment and the imminent trial of three dissident leaders, Adam Michnik, Bogdan Lis, and Wladyslaw Frasyniuk. These actions indicate that our hopes for a more tolerant attitude toward free speech in Poland have been unfounded. These leaders, already imprisoned for two months, have been charged with inciting public unrest for merely discussing the possibility of calling a fifteen-minute general strike to protest food price increases. The strike, as you know, never even occurred. Among those jailed is the historian Adam Michnik. A noted author and theorist of democracy, Michnik has devoted a lifetime to nonviolent protest on behalf of economic, cultural, and political freedom. He has already spent several years in prison in Poland. His release last summer was interpreted by some as a harbinger of liberalization. Mr. Michnik's reimprisonment, so suddenly, obviously belies this view. We strongly protest the imprisonment of Mr. Michnik and his colleagues. Any government which responds to the peaceful dissent of intellectuals through forceful detainment violates international standards of human rights and in so doing alienates itself from individuals and institutions in the world for whom such rights are sacrosanct. We demand that the Polish government adopt a genuine program of liberalization and begin by releasing Mr. Michnik and his colleagues.

POLANYI (Chemistry, 1986) John Polanyi who was born in Berlin, Germany in 1929, migrated with his Hungarian parents to England in 1933. He did his university studies at Manchester University, earning his Ph.D. in 1952, the same year in which he came to Canada. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the National Research Council Laboratories in Ottawa from 1952-1954, and as a research associate at Princeton University from 1954-1956. In 1956 he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Toronto where he has remained every since. His research involved the development of a new field of research in chemistry-reaction dynamics-providing a much more detailed understanding of how chemical reactions take place. For this work, he shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. His ongoing research has earned him many other awards and honours, including, the Royal Medal of the Royal Society, and some thirty honorary degrees from six countries. Dr. Polanyi has served on the Prime Minister of Canada's Advisory Board on Science and Technology, and the Premier's Council of Ontario. An advocate of international human rights, he was a founding member of the Committee on Scholarly Freedom of the Royal Society, and the Canadian Committee for Scientists and Scholars, and the founding Chairman of the Canadian Pugwash Group in 1960. Dr. Polanyi has written extensively on science policy, the control of armaments, and peacekeeping.

Development of the Cerebral Cortex: IX. Cortical Development and Experience: I Susan Hockfield, Ph.D., and Paul Lombroso, M.D. J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry, 37(9):992-993, 1998 Environmental factors become critically important during later stages of brain maturation. In humans and other mammals, the number of synapses increases dramatically after birth. The specificity of neuronal connections is then refined during early postnatal life. Experimental data have shown conclusively that neuronal activity is critical for the elaboration of synaptic territories, as well as for making proper synaptic connections. Thus, once the initial circuitry of the CNS is guided by intrinsic factors into roughly correct patterns, after birth environmentally derived activity takes over to refine connections between neurons. In the 1960s and 1970s, Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel conducted an influencial series of experiments on this topic, for which they received the Nobel Prize in 1981. Their work demonstrated that the organization of the adult visual cortex relies heavily on early visual experiences. The primary visual cortex receives input from the two eyes via a relay in the thalamic visual area (the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus). Like all cortices, the primary visual cortex is a layered structure, with visual input forming synapses on neurons in layer 4. Figure 1.
