		Torsten N. Wiesel, a 1981 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine who pioneered research in the brain circuitry of vision, will speak on "Do We Learn to See: The Role of Nature and Nurture in the Neurobiology of Vision" in the 25th Bren Fellows Lecture.
		While a researcher at Harvard Medical School, Wiesel received the 1981 Nobel Prize with colleague David Hubel for their pioneering research in brain circuitry and the neurochemistry of vision.
		In key findings, Wiesel and Hubel traced the path of light entering the eye to specific brain cells and discovered that sight is controlled by a group of complex master cells.

	Oxford University Press: Brain and Visual Perception: David H. Hubel
		This is the nature-nurture question as to whether the nerve connections responsible for vision are innate or whether they develop through experience in the early life of an animal or human.
		It emphasizes the importance of various mentors in their lives, especially Stephen W. Kuffler, who opened up the field by studying the cat retina in 1950, and founded the department of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School, where most of their work was done.
		It will appeal to neuroscientists, vision scientists, biologists, psychologists, physicists, historians of science, and to their students and trainees, at all levels from high school on, as well as anyone else who is interested in the scientific process.

		Wiesel shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981 with David Hubel and Roger Sperry.
		Hubel and Wiesel's pioneering studies were the first to show how visual information collected by the retina is processed in the brain.
		Among many landmark discoveries, Hubel and Wiesel's work demonstrated that infants must experience normal visual stimulation during an important "critical period" in early childhood in order to develop normal vision as adults.

	OUP: Brain and Visual Perception: Hubel
		Neuroscience should rejoice that, during a mere 25 years, its world was enriched not only by a wealth of knowledge but also by new standards of evidence and elegance of methodology which have left a permanent imprint.
		'Hubel and Wiesel, as much as any other scientists, are responsible for our current view of the brain, its function, and how it is moulded by the environment.
		These papers and the commentaries that accompany them put the reader inside the heads of the scientists who gave us our modern understanding of the cerebral cortex, often by asking the next logical question, but always with appreciation for the beauty of the system.
