When my studies were completed I returned to Professor Bernhards's laboratory at the Karolinska Institute in 1954 to do basic neurophysiological research. The following year I had the good fortune to be invited to the United States as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Stephen Kuffler's laboratory at the Wilmer Institute, Johns Hopkins Medical School . Dr. Kuffler had just published his now classical study of the receptive field arrangements of cat retinal ganglion cells. This was an important extension of the pioneering work of Drs. Hartline and Granit , for which they received the 1967 Nobel Prize. David Hubel joined the laboratory in 1968, and the two of us decided to explore the receptive field properties of cells in the central visual pathways. This marked the beginning of our twenty year collaboration.
In 1959 Dr. Kuffler was invited to become a professor of pharmacology at Harvard Medical School
I was married to Teeri Stenhammar 1956-1970 and Ann Yee 1973-1981. My daughter Sara Elisabeth was born in 1975. Aside from my work my interests lie in the arts and in world affairs.

Abstract
David H. Hubel was born in 1926 in Windsor, Canada. In 1951 he received a medical degree from McGill University. From 1955-1958 he worked at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research with Torsten N. Wiesel. Hubel and Wiesel found in their studies of the visual cortex that the cells are arranged in a regular manner in columns, and that the cells within each such column have the same functions in interpreting the impulse message from the eyes. (Klinika 1999) Hubel and Wiesel were also able to show by their experiments that the ability of the cells in the visual cortex to interpret the code of the impulse message from the retina is developed directly after birth. On October 9, 1981 The Nobel Assembly of Karolinska Institutet decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with one half to Roger W. Sperry for his discoveries concerning "the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres" and the other half jointly to David H. Hubel

Dr. Hubel received his bachelor's degree and MD from McGill University. He joined the faculty of the Harvard Medical School in 1959. Dr. Wiesel earned his medical degree from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1954 and joined the Harvard Medical School faculty the same year as Hubel. Drs. Hubel and Wiesel studied the functional and structural details of the visual cortex.In the 1960s the pair studied the effects of abnormal visual experience on the immature nervous systems of young animals, simulating human amblyopia. Their work earned them the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1981.

Appointment of the Secretary-General
The Board of Trustees of the International Human Frontier Science Program Organization (HFSPO) is proud to announce the appointment of Professor Torsten N. Wiesel to serve as the Secretary-General of the Organization. Professor Wiesel took office on 1 April, 2000, succeeding Professor Michel Cuenod who retired in March 2000 after 7 years of service.
Prof. Torsten N. Wiesel Professor Wiesel is a distinguished physician and scientist. He was born in Uppsala, Sweden, and in 1955 he moved to the United States to perform research at Johns Hopkins University Medical School (Baltimore). He moved to Harvard Medical School (Boston) in 1959. He has made many critical contributions in the field of neuroscience of vision, for which he has received a number of prestigious honors and awards including a Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine in 1981. From 1992 until his retirement in 1998, Professor Wiesel served as the President of Rockefeller University (New York) and has been recognized for his strong and visionary leadership of that institution. His membership in learned societies and election to the presidencies of both American and international scientific societies have placed him in contact with eminent scientists throughout the world. Thus, Professor Wiesel is exceptionally well qualified to lead the HFSP into the next millennium.

"The usual grant required to endow a university professorship is $3 million, but the Board wanted this to be a special chair," said Furlaud. "We set our sights on $5 million and exceeded it." Three million dollars will be designated as endowment, and $2.4 million will be used to construct and equip a modern laboratory facility. The Torsten N. Wiesel Professorship will be reserved for an outstanding senior scientist recruited from outside the university.

Lewis Thomas Prize Honors Max Perutz
Award from The Rockefeller University recognizes scientists as poets
Nobel laureate, molecular biologist and author Max Perutz, Ph.D., is the recipient of the 1997 Lewis Thomas Prize, which honors scientists for their literary achievements and is awarded by The Rockefeller University. "The Lewis Thomas Prize recognizes the scientist whose voice and vision can tell us of science's esthetic and philosophical dimensions, who gives us not merely new information but cause for reflection, even revelation, as in a poem or painting," explains Nobel laureate Torsten N. Wiesel, M.D., president of the university. A well-known science essayist, Perutz contributes regularly to the New York Review of Books . He has written several scientific texts as well as Is Science Necessary?
