		Herbert Spencer Gasser, (July 5, 1888 - May 11, 1963) was an American physiologist, and recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1944 for his work with action potentials in nerve fibers.
		Herbert Gasser was born in 1888 in Platteville, a small town in southwestern Wisconsin.
		Gasser was particularly interested in reconstructing the "compound" action potential by summing the predicted potential changes in all the individual axons of the bullfrog nerve, at a particular conduction distance, and comparing this with the recorded action potential.

		In 1922, in collaboration with Gasser, Erlanger adapted the cathode-ray oscillograph for the study of nerve action potentials and this led to the work for which Erlanger and Gasser were given the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology in 1944.

		Joseph Erlanger (1874-1965) was recruited to the School of Medicine in 1910 by Robert S. Brookings, as part of Brookings' charge to transform the medical school into an "excellent" institution.
		In 1944, Erlanger, emeritus professor of physiology anf former chairman of the physiology department, and his longtime collaborator, Herbert Spencer Gasser (former professor of pharmacology), were co-recipients of the Nobel Prize in medicine.
		Pioneers of neurophysiology, they were awarded the prize for their discoveries relating to the highly differentiated functions of single nerve fibres.

		He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1944, along with Joseph Erlanger, for their work with action potentials in nerve fibers.
		Gasser’s research showed that the intricacy of the oscillograph results was because of the different conductivity rates of various sets of nerve fibers.

		Physiologists knew that impulses (action potentials) travel along nerves to convey sensation and to stimulate muscles, and that these impulses could be recorded by electrical instruments.
		A hypothesis existed that impulses moved faster along thick fibers than they did thin ones.
		This article was less important for its new knowledge about nerves than for its description of how sensations could at last be signalized.

		Sherrington investigated the integrative action of the nervous system.
		Their work was followed by that of the American physiologists Joseph Erlanger and Herbert Spencer Gasser, who demonstrated functional differences in nerve fibres and used the oscilloscope to record the variation of electrical impulses that occurs in these fibres.
		Later investigations by the American biochemist Julius Axelrod, the Swedish physiologist Ulf von Euler, and the British doctor Bernard Katz demonstrated the role of specific chemicals in the transmission of nerve impulses.
