Magoun, Evelyn Satinoff (Mrs. Philip Teitlebaum), Frances Brewer, and Richard Brewer. These were recorded on six audiocassette tapes (ca. 6 hrs). Scope and Contents note Dr. Bogen (1926-2005) was a man with broad interests and experience -- neurophysiology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, philosophy of mind, and neurosurgery, in which he became Board certified; he called himself a neuroeclectic. During his long service at Caltech and White Memorial Hospital he made crucial contributions to the development of commissurotomy as a treatment for some types of epilepsy, and furthered research in brain lateralization. In 1981 he moved to the New Hope Pain Center at Alhambra Community Hospital, to apply his broad experience to the study of pain. Later his interest shifted to exploring theories of consciousness and its localization in the brain. Dr. Bogen taught at Caltech, USC, and UCLA. box 1, folder 4 Joseph E.

  • The Creation of Neuroscience
    The Creation of Neuroscience The Society for Neuroscience and the Quest for Disciplinary Unity 1969-1995 Introduction rom the molecular biology of a single neuron to the breathtakingly complex circuitry of the entire human nervous system, our understanding of the brain and how it works has undergone radical F changes over the past century. These advances have brought us tantalizingly closer to genu- inely mechanistic and scientifically rigorous explanations of how the brain’s roughly 100 billion neurons, interacting through trillions of synaptic connections, function both as single units and as larger ensem- bles. The professional field of neuroscience, in keeping pace with these important scientific develop- ments, has dramatically reshaped the organization of biological sciences across the globe over the last 50 years. Much like physics during its dominant era in the 1950s and 1960s, neuroscience has become the leading scientific discipline with regard to funding, numbers of scientists, and numbers of trainees. Furthermore, neuroscience as fact, explanation, and myth has just as dramatically redrawn our cultural landscape and redefined how Western popular culture understands who we are as individuals. In the 1950s, especially in the United States, Freud and his successors stood at the center of all cultural expla- nations for psychological suffering. In the new millennium, we perceive such suffering as erupting no longer from a repressed unconscious but, instead, from a pathophysiology rooted in and caused by brain abnormalities and dysfunctions. Indeed, the normal as well as the pathological have become thoroughly neurobiological in the last several decades. In the process, entirely new vistas have opened up in fields ranging from neuroeconomics and neurophilosophy to consumer products, as exemplified by an entire line of soft drinks advertised as offering “neuro” benefits.

The city, we think, offers ample opportunity for all that is desirable in a first-class medical school, and if you will permit me to say it, the trustees and faculty propose to make this a first-class school.” —John Milton Duff, MD Professor of Obstetrics, September 1886 More than three decades after the city’s first public hospital was established, after exhausting efforts toward a joint charter, Pittsburgh physicians founded an indepen- dent medical college, opening its doors in September 1886. This congested industrial city—whose public hospital then performed more amputations and saw more fatal typhoid-fever cases per capita than any other in the country—finally would have its own pipeline of new physicians for its rising tide of diseased and injured brakemen, domestics, laborers, machinists, miners, and steelworkers from around the world, as well as the families of its merchants, professionals, and industry giants.

Freeman Jr.,**John M. Vierling,****& John A. Goss***** INTRODUCTION Like many other valuable health care resources, the supply of donor livers in the United States is inadequate for the number of patients with end-stage liver disease in need of a liver transplant. The supply- demand imbalance is most clearly demonstrated by the fact that each year approximately ten to twelve percent of liver transplant candidates die before a liver graft becomes available.1 When such an imbalance between the need for a given health care resource and the supply of that resource exists, some means of distributing the resource must be developed.

Since the time of physicians such as Aristotle and Galen and the more recent observations of clinicians and neuropathologists such as Broca, Papez, and McLean, the field of affective neuroscience has matured to become the province of neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists. It is accepted that the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, hippocampus, and insula participate in the majority of emotional processes. New imaging technologies and molecular biology discoveries are expanding further the frontiers of knowledge in this arena. The advancements of knowledge on the interplay between the human brain and emotions came about as the legacy of the pioneers mentioned in this field.

HALLOWELL DAVIS August 31, 1896–August 22, 1992 BY ROBERT GALAMBOS HEN HALLOWELL DAVIS began his experiments on the Wnervous system in 1922, the number of American neu- rophysiologists he might talk to—the neuroscientists of that day—could be counted almost literally on the fingers of one hand. When he died seventy years later there were more than 15,000 members of the Society for Neuroscience (U. S. A.), and he was universally recognized as the world’s leading authority on the ear and hearing. He owed this position in part to an uncanny knack for selecting exactly the right moment to begin working on a problem, and be- cause throughout his life he was simultaneously perform- ing a new experiment and writing up a finished one. These activities, plus his interactions with a small army of friends, students, and associates here and abroad took him to the top of his profession and kept him there. The first brainwaves seen on the American continent came out of his own head in 1933, recorded by his graduate stu- dents using equipment he had designed. At about the same time he was among the first anywhere to record animal cochlear potentials, human evoked brain potentials, and the activity of single nerve cells at work inside an animal brain.

Corner. His story ends in 1953-a major turning point. That year, the Institute, which from its inception had been deeply in­ volved in post-doctoral education and research, became a graduate uni­ versity, offering the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to a small number of exceptional pre-doctoral students. Since 1953, The Rockefeller University's research and education pro­ grams have widened. Its achievements would fill a volume at least equal in size to Dr. Corner's history. Pending such a sequel, John Kobler, a journalist and biographer, has written a brief account intended to acquaint the general public with the recent history of The Rockefeller University. Today, as in the beginning, it is an Institution committed to excellence in research, education, and service to human kind.
