Winner Work |
| 2013 |
|
Solomon H. Snyder |
For the elucidation of fundamental mechanisms of chemical signaling, including opiate receptors, NO signaling, and other neurotransmitter/receptor interactions. |
| 2010 |
|
Roger Nicoll |
For his seminal discoveries elucidating cellular and molecular bases for synaptic plasticity in the brain. |
| 2007 |
|
Jean-Pierre Changeux |
For the pioneering discovery that fast-acting neurotransmitters mediate their effects through allosteric regulation of the neurotransmitter protein. |
| 2004 |
|
Brenda Milner |
For her pioneering and seminal investigations of the functioning of the temporal lobes and other brain regions in learning, memory, and speech. |
| 2001 |
|
Seymour Benzer |
For his pioneering contributions which have brought neurogenetics to maturity. Benzer's discoveries in fruit flies have identified specific genes contributing to behaviors of central importance. |
| 1998 |
|
Vernon Benjamin Mountcastle |
For his discovery of the columnar organization of the mammalian cerebral cortex and for original studies relating behavior to function of single cells in higher cortical areas. |
| 1994 |
|
Walle Nauta |
For development of a powerful method for determining connectivity among specific brain sites and thus establishing now-classical circuits in the limbic system. |
| 1991 |
|
Paul Greengard |
For his discovery of the central role played by neuronal phosphoproteins in normal brain function as well as in neuropsychiatric and related disorders. |
| 1988 |
|
Seymour S. Kety |
For developing techniques to measure brain blood flow and metabolism -- valuable tools in the study of brain function that have major applications in clinical medicine. |
|
Louis Sokoloff |
For developing techniques to measure brain blood flow and metabolism -- valuable tools in the study of brain function that have major applications in clinical medicine. |
