One of their outstanding achievements was the analysis of the flow of nerve impulses from the retina to the sensory and motor centres of the brain. Using tiny electrodes, they tracked the electrical discharges that occur in individual nerve fibres and brain cells as the retina responds to light and the patterns of information are processed and passed along to the brain. In 1965 Hubel became professor of physiology and, in 1968, the George
Packer Berry professor of neurobiology. He became a U.S. citizen in
1953. |
