热烈祝贺2017年的诺奖又花落神经科学学家!

2017年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予杰弗理·霍尔(Jeffrey C Hall)、迈克尔·罗斯巴希(Michael Rosbash)、迈克尔·杨(Michael W Young)。三位科学家的获奖理由是:因发现控制昼夜节律的分子机制。



作为当今世界上最富盛名的科学奖励系统,诺贝尔奖代表了人类科学领域的最高荣誉,获奖的成果也基本上代表了人类科学研究的最新成就和最高水平。百余年来,共有800余人获得了这一殊荣。虽然他们中的很大一部分人早已不在人世,但是他们为人类科学事业所做的贡献,早已成为美谈,被世人代代传颂。


获奖的科学家中,也有不少是从事神经科学研究的。据统计,至今共有约50位科学家凭借神经科学领域内的研究获得了约20次诺贝尔奖,他们主要获得的是生理或医学奖。虽然神经科学是一门“复杂学科”,很多研究不是很容易理解和传播,但是仍然有不少诺奖得主凭借其杰出的科学贡献和强大的人格魅力,让我们耳熟能详。比如,因为提出了“神经元学说”而称为“现代神经科学之父”的Cajal(绘制了很多艺术品级别的神经元图稿)、提出了大脑不对称性的“左右脑分工理论”的Sperry(启迪了各式的大脑开发理论) 和开启了从细胞分子层次研究学习与记忆的Kandel(畅销书作者)。


(“绝世画家”Cajal、“教育大师”Sperry和“文学巨匠”Kandel)


在科学研究的道路上砥砺前行,如能站在巨人的肩膀上,无疑能给我们更广阔和视野和更有深度的思考。因此,我们觉得给大家多介绍一些顶级科学成就和思想是非常有意义的一件事情。而代表着人类科学领域的最高荣誉的诺贝尔奖是不二之选。所以,趁着今年诺贝尔奖颁发之际,我们写作团队组织了一场以“Nobel Prizes in Neuroscience: from Golgi and Cajal to Hall, Rosbash and Young”为主题的专题写作活动。


我们专栏将在接下来的一段时间内陆续发布几篇文章介绍以下几位/组诺贝尔奖得主的主要科学贡献:

最后,向先贤和所有奋斗在一线的科研工作者致敬!也希望今后我们的祖国和民众能越来越崇尚科学,更多的有志青年能因为兴趣而投身科学,砥砺前行、不断创新。


期待大家能持续关注我们的这一专题。

谢谢~
