Excerpt

The American neurophysiologist Robert W. Doty (Fig. 1) conducted landmark research on deglutition, neuronal ensembles in movement coordination, functional plasticity of the visual system, interhemispheric transfer of mnemonic information, and time-course of memory trace consolidation [1]. He was a founding council member (1968–1970), councilor (1970–1975), and president (1975–1976) of the Society for Neuroscience. …
