Wiesel, M.D. Vincent and Brooke Astor Professor Emeritus and President Emeritus Laboratory of Neurobiology, The Rockefeller University In 1981, Dr. Wiesel shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with David Hubel for studies of how visual information is transmitted to and processed in the visual cortex of the brain. Cats and monkeys were subjects in these investigations that identified specialized functions of individual cells in the brain’s visual cortex and mapped the functional architecture of cells in the visual cortex. Drs. Hubel and Wiesel also studied the development of the visual cortex and the role of innate and experiential factors. This research has had important clinical implications, including a more effective treatment of congenital cataracts. Dr. Wiesel is also a recipient of the 2005 National Medal of Science. Born in 1924 in Uppsala, Sweden, Dr. Wiesel received his medical degree from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1954, after which he taught in the Institute’s department of physiology and worked in the child psychiatry unit of the Karolinska Hospital. He began a fellowship in ophthalmology at Johns Hopkins University Medical School in 1955 and became an assistant professor there in 1958. The following year he became an instructor in pharmacology at Harvard Medical School, beginning a 24-year career with the university; he became professor in the new department of neurobiology in 1968 and its chair in 1971.
