2004
|
|
(For pioneering discoveries that both founded and greatly advanced an entire field of neurogenetics, thereby transforming our understanding of the brain and its mechanisms.)
|
|
2001
|
|
(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.)
|
|
|
|
1991
|
|
(For having generated a new field of molecular neurogenetics by his pioneering research on the dissection of the nervous system and behavior by gene mutations.)
|
|
1982
|
|
(For elucidating the fine structure of the gene and unifying the classical and molecular concepts of gene structure and function.)
|
|
|
|
1971
|
|
(For their brilliant contribution to molecular genetics.)
|
|
1964
|
|
(In recognition of his outstanding contributions to the knowledge of genetics and molecular biology, and in particular for his elucidation of the fine structure of genes, which has made it possible to extend the limits of genetic resolution by relating genetic changes to chemical alterations in deoxyribonucleic acid, thus clarifying the chemical bases of heredity in determining the nature and properties of cells and viruses.)
