Epilogue: Neurobiological Roots and Neuroethological Sprouts

  • Conference paper
Neuroethology and Behavioral Physiology

Abstract

Kenneth Roeder was one of the role models in my graduate student days at Berkeley in the 1930’s, along with C.L. Prosser and C.A.G. Wiersma — all the more important because they were not so remote in time or space as many other authors concerned with the physiology of the nervous system of lower animals in behavioral contexts, like C.F.A. Pantin, S.O. Mast, H.S. Jennings, H.J. Jordan, James Gray and Jacques Loeb. I corresponded with Professor Roeder and finally met him about 1940. From time to time he sent me excellent students like Robert K. Josephson and Lawrence Goldman. I am delighted to join in this celebration.
