	David H. Hubel Summary
		Hubel and Wiesel discovered that at birth the visual cortex begins to develop its structures from the stimulation of the newborn's retina.
		David H. Hubel is a neurobiologist whose research into the relationships between the eye and the brain began at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
		Hubel and Wiesel, colleagues at Johns Hopkins University, studied the mechanisms of the brain's visual cortex.

		David Hubel, M.D. was born in 1926 in Windsor, Ontario.
		Hubel became a pharmacist and achieved some prosperity by inventing the first process for the mass producing of gelatin capsules.
		In the neuropsychiatry division David Rioch had assembled a broad and lively group of young neuroscientists, notably M.G.F. Fuortes and Robert Galambos in neurophysiology, Walle Nauta in neuroanatomy, Joseph Brady and Murray Sidman in experimental psychology and John Mason in chemistry.

	P S Y C H E: Hubel & Wiesel
		Hubel is true to his promise of writing the stories behind the research, and restoring “some of the juices” to the articles.
		Hubel and Wiesel’s irreverent attitude towards science “with a capital S” was no doubt highly influenced by their mentor Steve Kuffler, who “enforced” an informal research atmosphere, first at the Wilmer Institute, and then in the Neurobiology Department at Harvard Medical School.
		Hubel explains that their famous reluctance to speculate on matters of perception was driven by the desire to present the bare facts and “let the theoreticians do the speculating”.

		David Hunter Hubel (born February 27, 1926) was co-recipient with Torsten Wiesel of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system; the prize was shared with Roger W. Sperry for his independent research on the cerebral hemispheres.
		Hubel and Wiesel's experiments showed that the ocular dominance develops irreversibly early in childhood development.

		In the adult, the input from the right and left eyes is separated into alternating bands within layer 4, which Hubel and Wiesel called ocular dominance columns.
		Hubel and Wiesel demonstrated that the normal segregation of inputs that is present later in life requires visual activity during a circumscribed window of time in the postnatal period.

		In Berkeley's biology labs, Mark Rosenzweig and his colleagues Edward Bennett, Marian Diamond, and David Krech, questioned the long standing separation between psychology and biology, and between our conscious experience of the world and physical changes in our brains.
		At Harvard, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel studied cats raised blind in one eye, and by 1962 they had demonstrated that such deprivation caused profound structural changes in the cats' visual cortex.
		Hubel and Wiesel's work made it clear that severe deprivation during critical developmental periods could have catastrophic effects on a growing brain, but the question of whether the opposite was true remained.

		Beginning with the seminal work of David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel in the 1960s, neurons in the visual cortex have been shown to exhibit experience-dependent changes in synaptic strength following simple manipulations of visual experience.
		Therefore, much of what we learn about plasticity in the visual system should lead to information that is tractable to other systems in the brain that are responsible for remembering or recording traces of experience.
		Since Hubel and Wiesel's pioneering experiments in kittens, plasticity in the visual pathway has been demonstrated using physiologically and anatomically based readouts [2].

	Letter from David H. Hubel to Marshall W. Nirenberg (February 24, 1989)
		Hubel informs Nirenberg that as President of the Society for Neuroscience he has decided to "concentrate on offensive tactics, rather than to limit myself to fighting brush fires" caused by animal activists.
		He contrasts the boldness with which the Surgeon General Koop addressed smoking and the reluctance with which he dealt with the animal rights question.
		Hubel asks for Nirenberg's opinion on the idea of writing a letter to Koop signed by Nobel Prize winners urging him to take a more active stance on the issue.

		Treatment was generally delayed until the children were 4 or older—too late to do much good.
		The need for earlier intervention became clear as a result of David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel's experiments with kittens.
		They showed that there is a critical period, shortly after birth, during which the visual cortex requires normal signals from both eyes in order to develop properly.
