Foundation About the Foundation Paul Greengard, Ph.D. Biography Paul Greengard, Ph.D. 2000 Nobel Laureate Director of the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research at The Rockefeller University When Paul Greengard was a graduate student in the late 1940's, the question of how the brain's chemical messengers produce their effect on nerve cells was so deeply mysterious and seemed so impossible to answer that most scientists largely avoided asking it. But the young Greengard dared to ask the question, and spent most of the next 50 years unraveling the answers. In the process, he has spawned an entire new branch of neurobiological research, has revolutionized our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms involved in communication between nerve cells and has forged a path to novel treatments for brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

THIS WEEK ON SCIENCE FRIDAY... Science Friday Archives October > October 13, 2000: Hour One: Medicine Nobel Prize Winners / Ozone Hole This week, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden announced the winners of several of the Nobel Prizes. In this hour, we'll talk with two of the three winners of the prize in Physiology or Medicine about their research, and about the future of neuroscience. Dr. Kandel and Dr. Greengard will join us to talk about their work. Plus, we'll get an update on the state of the ozone layer. Researchers reported this week that the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica was the largest that it has been in recorded times - even though the amount of chlorofluorocarbons in the atmosphere is decreasing. We'll talk about the hole's origins, and the delicate interplay of conditions that can make its size fluctuate. Ozone hole over the South Pole.

Los tres científicos fueron distinguidos por el Comité Nóbel del Instituto Karolinska por sus trabajos sobre “la transmisión de la señal en el sistema nervioso”. Sus investigaciones aportaron “descubrimientos esenciales sobre un modo importante de transmisión de la señal entre diferentes células nerviosas, la transmisión sináptica lenta”, que fueron “determinantes para la comprensión de las funciones normales del cerebro y de las condiciones en las que perturbaciones en la transmisión de la señal pueden inducir enfermedades neurológicas o físicas. Desembocaron asimismo en el desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos”, señaló el instituto en sus considerandos.

Dr. Ruth Kirschstein, NIH acting director, congratulated the medicine laureates and said, "This work is very important in understanding how the more than hundred billion nerve cells in the brain communicate. I am proud that NIH has provided long-term and consistent support to these fine scientists over decades." The National Institute of Mental Health has provided more than 30 years of research support to Kandel and Greengard. Support has also been provided by NINDS, NIA, NIAAA, NIDA, NIGMS and NHLBI. Kandel received the prize for his elucidating research on the functional modification of synapses in the brain. Initially using the sea slug as an experimental model but later working with mice, he has established that the formation of memories is a consequence of short and long-term changes in the biochemistry of nerve cells. Greengard, who spent 1958-1959 in the Laboratory of Clinical Biochemistry, NHI, under the late Dr. Sidney Udenfriend, was recognized for his discovery that dopamine and a number of other transmitters can alter the functional state of neuronal proteins.

Greengard and Kandel both serve on NARSAD's Scientific Council, which helps select grantees and find areas of research which deserve greater recognition and funding. Arvid Carlsson: Discovering Dopamine as a Neurotransmitter Arvid Carlsson, M.D., now Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, discovered in the 1950's that dopamine acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, sending signals from one cell to another. Previously, researchers had believed that dopamine was just a precursor to the transmitter norepinephrine and not a neurotransmitter itself. Much of what we know about how the brain works comes from the study of these chemicals and what happens when they are out of balance. To test his hypothesis, Dr. Carlsson injected a drug called reserpine, which depletes both norepinephrine and dopamine, into rabbits. This caused the rabbits to "freeze" and become incapable of initiating voluntary movement. L-Dopa, the chemical from which the brain synthesizes dopamine, could reverse this effect.

That is when the Nobel Prizes are awarded. Being a biologist, my interests focus on the science I know best, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. This year, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognized the great advances that have been made in understanding how our brains create mood and memory. The award was shared by three scientists like a play in three acts, this understanding developed in three stages. ACT ONE. Arvid Carlsson (University of Gothenburg, Sweden) Working at the NIH in the 1950s, Arvid Carlsson was one of an army of scientists trying to sort out how the brain changes from day to day. Mood and memory were blank slates, their mechanism a mystery, but brain scientists like Carlsson suspected that the bizarre zoo of chemicals present in the brain might provide a clue. Carlsson was studying a chemical called dopamine. It wasn't thought to be particularly important simply raw material for making everyday communication signals.

Signalling pathways Professor Greengard, currently working at the Rockefeller University in the US, has devoted more than 40 years working out how nerve cells communicate between each other on a biochemical level. In the 1970s, he revealed new information about the way the chemical dopamine affects the brain. He managed to trace the signalling pathways used by the chemical. Professor Greengard's work has applications in the fight against many conditions to which dopamine is key, such as Parkinson's, schizophrenia and Alzheimer's.

El más veterano de los galardonados con el Nobel de Medicina, Arvid Carlsson (nacido en Upsala, Suecia, en 1923) ha recibido el premio por sus investigaciones realizadas sobre la dopamina. En los años cincuenta, el investigador, que actualmente forma parte del Departamento de Farmacología de la Universidad de Göteborg , descubrió la importancia de este neurotransmisor, cuya relevancia era desconocida hasta entonces. Este investigador demostró que la dopamina se encuentra en distintas áreas del cerebro, sobre todo en los ganglios basales, relacionados con el control del movimiento. A partir de este hallazgo, Carlsson demostró la eficacia de un fármaco denominado L-dopa en el tratamiento de la pérdida de las habilidades motoras. Hoy en día este medicamento es absolutamente esencial en el tratamiento del Parkinson. Aparte del tratamiento exitoso de la enfermedad de Parkinson, los descubrimientos de Arvid Carlsson han tenido gran importancia para el tratamiento de la depresión, que es una de las enfermedades más comunes en la actualidad, y han sido fundamentales para el desarrollo de medicamentos antipsicóticos, especialmente contra la esquizofrenia.

On March 4, 2003 Lois Pope presented Dr. Paul Greengard with the 2003 Lois Pope Annual LIFE International Research Award. The ceremony, which included the presentation of a $100,000 grant, took place at the Lois Pope LIFE Center at the University of Miami School of Medicine. "It seems to me that a rare individual like Dr. Paul Greengard, who functions at such a high level of awareness and intuition, is not easily explained just by his dedication and perseverance. His keen intelligence is a gift that elevates all of us," said Lois Pope. "We celebrate Dr. Paul Greengard on two levels: for advancing our knowledge of the elegant and complex chemical language of nerve cell communication and for his inspiring leadership at the highest level of scientific inquiry." Dr. Greengard heads the research efforts at the Rockefeller University in New York City and has devoted more than forty years to investigating a most mysterious place, the human brain. Our brain distinguishes us from other animals. But sadly, it is also the site of many afflictions: Parkinson's, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, drug abuse, and Alzheimer's disease. These are just some of the illnesses successfully investigated by Dr. Greengard. When he began studying the biochemistry of nerve cells, Dr. Greengard was working virtually alone. Some scientists believed his work to be of little relevance and nonsense. Today, the biochemistry of nerve cells is one of the most active areas of brain research.
