  • 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.

  • 1 the Forgotten Viruses Before There Was HIV There Was HTLV, The
    The Forgotten Viruses Before there was HIV there was HTLV, the Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus. In 1983, Robert Gallo and Luc Montagneir independently discovered the viral agent responsible for AIDS and called the newly discovered virus HTLV-3 and LAV, respectively. The name was eventually changed to HIV—Human Immunodeficiency Virus—but Gallo’s initial use of the HTLV-3 tag is a reminder that two other HTLVs were known at the time. Three years earlier, Gallo had isolated the first human retrovirus from patients with T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. This was HTLV-1. A year later, a second cancer-causing retrovirus (HTLV-2) was found. The wealth of nations and a generation of scientists were directed at uncovering the mysteries of HIV’s origins, genetics, epidemiology, and disease-causing properties. Thirty years later, many of those mysteries have been solved even as lingering questions have attracted the attention of a new generation of scientists and physicians. AIDS and HIV have cast a long, dark shadow over science and societies; still hidden in that 30-year-old shadow are the HTLVs. They may have been forgotten by the public and many researchers, but these cancer-causing viruses did not disappear. It is likely they have infected 20 million people worldwide and, in the absence of effective drugs and preventive vaccines, they continue to spread, causing significant sickness and death. HTLV-1 causes two awful diseases: Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma (ATLL), and HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Though many HTLV-1 patients are carriers only and show no symptoms, they remain capable of transmitting the virus to others through blood donations, sex, and breastfeeding.

The 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science. This year's lectures, "Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion, and Memory," will be given by Dr. Eric Kandel, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Columbia University, and Dr. Thomas Jessell, Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator also at Columbia University. The first lecture is titled "Mapping Memory in the Brain." And now to introduce our program, the President of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dr. Thomas Cech. 2. Welcome by HHMI President Dr. Thomas Cech (1:08) [DR. CECH] Welcome to the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science. The Institute initiated this series in 1993. In 1995 I had the pleasure of coming here and delivering the lectures on catalytic RNA, and since I've been President of the Institute it's been a great pleasure to be involved in choosing 18 terrific scientists to talk to students here in the auditorium. The Holiday Lectures are one of more than 30 research and education programs of the Institute and please visit our website www.hhmi.org to learn more about all of our activities. This lecture series focuses on the most complex organ in our body and arguably the one that most is responsible for making us human. Clearly without this organ you wouldn't be able to find this auditorium, and even if you got here you wouldn't understand a word that was being said.

  • Quest for the AIDS Virus
    Dr. Robert Gallo and Secretary Margaret Heckler hold a press confer- ence concerning the cause of AIDS, April 23, 1984. Bettmann / Contributor “Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen. The probable cause of AIDS has been found…Today we add another miracle to the long honor roll of American medicine and science. Today’s discovery represents the triumph of science over a dreaded disease. Those who have disparaged this scientific search—those who said we weren’t doing enough—have not understood how sound, solid, significant medical research proceeds. From the first day that AIDS was identified in 1981, HHS scientists and their medical allies have never stopped searching for the answers to the AIDS mystery. Without a day of procrastination, the resources of the Public Health Service have been effectively mobilized.…Credit must go to our eminent Dr. Robert Gallo [AΩA, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, 1962], who directed the research that produced this discovery.” —Margaret Heckler, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), April 23, 1984, Washington, DC Quest for the AIDS virus Harry W.

  • Craig Venter Vs the Human Genome Project
    BALLEN SCIENTIFIC RIVALRIES AND SCANDALS In the mid-1980s, some geneticists proposed a daring project to sequence the human genome. That meant figuring out the exact order of the three billion chemical pairs that make up human DNA. Sequencing the human genome could help scientists understand how our bodies work and help doctors diagnose, treat, and prevent certain diseases. The HUMAN GENOME PROJECT launched in 1990, with scientists around the world collaborating on the research. They worked slowly and methodically, trying to produce the most accurate information possible. By 1991 one of these scientists, CRAIG VENTER, became fed up with the HGP’s slow pace. He challenged the HGP to move faster and started his own company to compete with the HGP. OUR DNA OUR Racing neck and neck, the two organizations reached their goal years ahead of OUR schedule. But the challenge also led to a bitter public argument, especially over who could use the sequence and how. This book reveals how ambition, persistence, ego, greed, and principle combined—often with explosive results—in the quest to decode our DNA.

  • As the Year 2008 Draws To
    FROM THE EDITORS s the year 2008 draws to a close, excitement and an expectation of change hang in the air, and not least in the field of neuroscience. “We have recently had a decade of the brain, and there is a sense that this will be a century of Aneuroscience,” says Pasko Rakic, one of three winners of this year’s Kavli prize for neuroscience, in an interview on page 893. Pasko Rakic, Sten Grillner and Thomas Jessell were recognized for their pioneering work and outstanding contributions to elucidating the development and function of neural circuits. This highly prestigious prize, which will be given biannually in the fields of nanoscience, neuroscience and astrophysics, was awarded ▶ cover: ‘Winter action’ by Kirsten Lee, inspired for the first time this year. The interviews highlight the milestones in the by the Perspective on p957. careers of the awardees, their outlook on neuroscience and their advice for young neuroscientists. This issue also marks the start of a new article series that will cover different aspects of sleep. On page 910, Krueger and colleagues review the accumulated evidence for the hypothesis that sleep is regulated locally through the induction of sleep-like states in individual cortical cLaudia wiedeMann katherine whaLLey columns and that synchronization of these states might lead to whole-animal sleep. Another timely subject, which we cover in this issue’s Science and Society article (page 957), is the rising rate of ADHD diagnosis in children.
