Who are some famous neuroscientist?

Answer 1

A neuroscientist is usually defined as a scientist who performs experiments to determine the function of some aspect of the brain. By this definition Ibn al-Haytham (b. 965) proposed one of the first known theories of how the retina (which is part of the brain) functioned, and could be considered one of the first, if not the first neuroscientists. Rather than simply observing phenomena, al-Haytham performed actual experiments. He also embodies the multidisciplinary curiosity of scientists who study neuroscience.

Answer 2

Some famous neuroscientists include Santiago Ramón y Cajal, who is considered the father of modern neuroscience for his work on the structure of the nervous system, and Eric Kandel, who won a Nobel Prize for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons. Other notable figures in neuroscience include Rita Levi-Montalcini for her discovery of nerve growth factor and Paul Greengard for his research on the mechanisms of neurotransmission.

Answer 3

Richard W. Aldrich, David Amaral, Per Andersen, and Edgar Douglas Adrian are all famous neuroscientists. Also included in this group are Julius Axelrod, Patrick Aebischer, and John Allman.
