   Extractions: In 1927, with first class honours in Natural Sciences, the Christopher Welch Scholarship and a Junior Research Fellowship at Exeter College , Oxford, he commenced research on reflexes with Sherrington's colleagues. Later from 1928 to 1931 he was research assistant to Sherrington, there being eight papers published conjointly; and he also collaborated with Ragnar Granit on two research projects. He was awarded an Oxford D. Phil. degree in 1929 for a thesis on Excitation and Inhibition. Later Oxford appointments were to a Staines Medical Fellowship at Exeter College in 1932, a tutorial fellowship of Magdalen College, and a University Demonstratorship in 1934. During this Oxford period research was largely on synaptic transmission both in the central nervous system and peripherally in sympathetic ganglia, smooth and cardiac muscle. Using the newly developed techniques of electrophysiology - amplifiers and cathode ray oscilloscopes. It was the period of controversy between the exponents of the rival chemical and electrical theories of synaptic transmission with Eccles in particular resisting many aspects of the chemical transmitter story that was being developed so effectively by

   Extractions: Sir John Eccles Archiv fur Kunst und Geschichte, Berlin (b. Jan. 27, 1903, Melbourne, Australia), Australian research physiologist, who in 1963 received (with Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley ) the 1963 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the chemical means by which impulses are communicated or repressed by nerve cells. After graduating from the University of Melbourne in 1925, Eccles studied at the University of Oxford under a Rhodes scholarship. He received his Ph.D. there in 1929 after having worked under the neurophysiologist Charles Scott Sherrington. After holding a research post at Oxford, Eccles returned to Australia in 1937, teaching there and in New Zealand over the following decades. Working at the Australian National University, Canberra (1951-66), Eccles showed that the excitement of a nerve cell by an impulse causes one kind of synapse to release into the neighbouring cell a substance (probably acetylcholine) that expands the pores in nerve membranes. The expanded pores then allow free passage of sodium ions into the neighbouring nerve cell and reverse the polarity of electric charge. This wave of electric charge, which constitutes the nerve impulse, is conducted from one cell to another. In the same way he found that an excited nerve cell

He was a Nobel Laureate who graduated from the University of Melbourne Medical School in 1925. His research and publications over a period of seventy years continue to have significant influences on brain research. He died in Switzerland in 1997. John Eccles at work in Canberra in 1963. The photograph (courtesy of Professor D. R. Curtis) shows Canberra-designed and manufactured equipment for positioning and recording microelectrodes in the central nervous system of anaesthetised animals. John Carew Eccles was born at Northcote. Both his parents were school teachers, and he received his secondary education at Warrnambool and Melbourne High Schools. With assistance from a Senior Scholarship, he began his five-year medical course in February 1920. His reading that year of Darwin's "The Origin of Species" did not provide him with an explanation of how the brain and mind interact, and he decided to devote himself to the study of the brain. After later reading Sir Charles Sherrington's 1906 monograph "The Integrative Action of the Nervous System", Eccles resolved to achieve a Rhodes Scholarship to study with him in Oxford.

    Extractions: eamontagno@yahoo.com.br Sir John C. Eccles (1903 - 1997) has died on May 2nd, 1997. He worked "under the enchantment of the synapses" during the first part of his life, and has helped the understanding of the brain, the most important of mysteries. He lived his last days researching "brain connections", and now he went on to meet the universal mind, to experience the passage. When he was 18 years old, Eccles started his scientific life in Melbourne, Australia, still as a student of medicine. He passionately dedicated himself to the brain-mind problem, specially about the question on self-consciousness, on the experience of ourselves. At that time, he seemed to understand that the specialized connections between nervous cells, which Sherrington called synapses, held the clue not only to the elucidation of the subtle nervous reactions, but also to the brain-mind problem. He studied for three years in Oxford with Sherrington, while this British gentleman was the most important neurophysiologist in the world. He was then a 22 years old Rhodes scholar, recently graduated in Melbourne. The young Australian neuroscientist dedicated himself to the scientific research on the communication between nervous cells: "fast, reliable, unlimited: the most amazing of the nervous system's capabilities." However, he found little information about the biophysics of the nervous cells' membrane, the permeability to ionic flow that culminates in the nervous impulse.
