Extractions: Herbert Spencer Gasser was born in Platteville, Wisconsin, on July 5, 1888, the son of Herman Gasser end Jane Elisabeth Griswold. After attending the State Normal School he went on to the University of Wisconsin, where he graduated A.B. in 1910 and A.M. in 1911. Here he studied physiology under Dr. Erlanger , with whom he was later to have such a fruitful collaboration. He then went to the Johns Hopkins Medical School for his clinical studies, obtaining his M.D. in 1915. After a year in pharmacology at Wisconsin he went to Washington University (St. Louis), where he was associated with Dr. Erlanger, becoming Professor of Pharmacology in 1921. From 1923-1925 he was granted leave of absence to study in Europe, working with Profs. A. V. Hill , W. Straub and L. Lapicque and Sir Henry Dale . In 1931 he was appointed Professor of Physiology and Head of the Medical Department at Cornell University , New York City. From 1935 to 1953 he was Director of the

Extractions: (b. July 5, 1888, Platteville, Wis., U.S.d. May 11, 1963, New York, N.Y.), American physiologist, corecipient (with Joseph Erlanger ) of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1944 for fundamental discoveries concerning the functions of different kinds of nerve fibres. At Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. (1916-31), where he was professor of pharmacology, Gasser collaborated with Erlanger in studying the barely detectable electrical impulses carried by isolated mammalian nerve fibres. By 1924 they had succeeded in adapting the oscillograph to physiological research, enabling them to visualize amplified nerve impulses on a fluorescent screen. Using this device, they demonstrated that different nerve fibres exist for the transmission of specific kinds of impulses, such as those of pain, cold, or heat. Their work also made it possible to construct improved recording machines to diagnose brain and nervous disorders and to ascertain the success of treatments for these diseases. In 1931 Gasser was appointed professor of physiology at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., and four years later he succeeded Simon Flexner as director of the Rockefeller Institute, New York City (1935-53).
