 NAP Skim View of:
David Hubel, Margaret Livingstone, and their colleagues at Harvard Medical School are exploring the intricacies of an area of the visual cortex that adjoins the one on which they have worked for many years.
David Hubel, for example, feels that researchers eventually will need to observe the workings of single nerve cells and to identify the functions of each one, if neuroscience is ever to give a full account of any of the human sensory systems.
David Hubel and his colleagues at the Harvard Medical School demonstrated this phenomenon in an experimental animal by suturing closed one of its eyes shortly after birth.

 P S Y C H E: Hubel & Wiesel
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”.
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.
