  Joseph Erlanger Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Joseph Erlanger, the son of Herman and Sarah Erlanger, was born on Jan. 5, 1874, in San Francisco, Calif. He studied chemistry at the University of California, where he received his bachelor's degree, and then went on to Johns Hopkins University for his medical training.
The "Erlanger clamp" he designed reversibly to block the conduction of the auriculoventricular nerve bundle and thus was able to define some of the functions of this bundle in carrying impulses between the chambers of the heart.
Erlanger's later work, which continued after his retirement and after his appointment as emeritus professor, was concerned mainly with the properties of single nerve fibers and, to a lesser extent, with synaptic function.

Erlanger taught at Johns Hopkins University (1900–6); at the Medical School of the University of Wisconsin (1906–10), in Madison; and at the Washington University School of Medicine (1910–65), in St. Louis, Mo.
Erlanger's main research was on the regulation of blood pressure and on the electrical properties of nerve impulses, especially the conduction of nerve impulses between sections of the heart.
Erlanger and Gasser were awarded the 1944 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for “their discoveries concerning the multiple functional differences of specific nerve fibers.”

Joseph Erlanger was born in 1874 in San Francisco, California.
Erlanger's research into nerve function was the product of a profitable collaboration with Gasser, one of his students at the University of Wisconsin, Madison (1906-10).
In 1932 Erlanger and Gasser found that the fibres of a nerve conduct impulses at different rates, depending on the thickness of the fibre, and that each fibre has a different threshold of excitability--i.e., each requires a stimulus of different intensity to create an impulse.
