		John Carew Eccles was born on 27 January 1903 at Northcote, a suburb of Melbourne.
		Eccles was deeply impressed by Popper's main tenet, that scientific hypotheses should be both clearly formulated and testable by experiment, and that the strength of a hypothesis depended on the failure of rigorous investigation to falsify it rather than on evidence which apparently supported it.
		Eccles was awarded a Royal Medal in 1962, and the award in 1963 of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, shared with A.L.Hodgkin and A.F.Huxley, recognized his fundamental contributions to the ionic mechanisms of synaptic transmission in the brain.

		Sir John Carew Eccles (January 27, 1903–May 2, 1997) was an Australian neurophysiologist who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the synapse.
		When Eccles passed a current into the sensory neruon in the quadriceps, the motor neuron innervating the quadricep produced a small excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).
		Until around 1949, Eccles believed that synaptic transmission was primarily electrical rather than chemical.

		Eccles was later instrumental in researching the ionic basis of membrane potentials in the synapse, studying sodium, potassium and calcium.

		Sir John Carew Eccles, the Australian research physiologist, was born in 1903 in Melbourne.
		Working at the Australian National University, Canberra (1951-66), Eccles showed that the excitement of a nerve cell by an impulse causes one kind of synapse to release into the neighbouring cell a substance (probably acetylcholine) that expands the pores in nerve membranes.
		Eccles' work, based largely on the findings of Hodgkin and Huxley, had a profound influence on the medical treatment of nervous diseases and research on kidney, heart, and brain function.

		In the early 1950s, Eccles and his colleagues performed the key experiments that would win Eccles the Nobel Prize.
		When Eccles passed a current into the sensory neuron in the quadriceps, the motor neuron innervating the quadricep produced a small excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP).
		Although he was wrong in this hypothesis, his arguments led himself and others to perform some of the experiments which proved chemical synaptic transmission.

	Eccles, John Carew
		It was the period of controversy between the exponents of the rival chemical and electrical theories of synaptic transmission with Eccles in particular resisting many aspects of the chemical transmitter story that was being developed so effectively by Dale and his colleagues.
		In 1937 Eccles left England for Australia to become Director of a small medical research unit in Sydney, where he was fortunate to have the distinguished collaboration of Bernard Katz and Stephen Kuffler.
		The conceptual basis of these investigations derived particularly from the hypotheses of the ionic mechanisms of membrane activity that had been developed by Hodgkin, Huxley, Katz and Keynes in England.
