Edelman, Gerald Maurice Gerald M. Edelman with a model of the gamma globulin molecule, 1972 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. July 1, 1929, New York, N.Y., U.S.), American biochemist whose contributions in elucidating the chemical structure of antibodies won him (with Rodney Porter ) the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1972. He also proposed an influential theory of change within the human nervous system. Edelman studied at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School (M.D., 1954). After two years in the Army Medical Corps in Paris, he went to Rockefeller University in New York City, earning his Ph.D. in 1960 and then joining the faculty. Working at Rockefeller, Edelman and his research team succeeded (1969) in constructing a precise model of an entire antibody molecule, which was found to be a four-chain structure consisting of more than 1,300 amino acids. Edelman and his team were then able to identify the precise locations on the molecule where antigenic binding occurs. Edelman became a full professor at Rockefeller University in 1966. His subsequent research focused on morphogenesis i.e.

29. The Scripps Research Institute - Neurobiology gerald M. edelman, MD, Ph.D. For the past decade, the Department of Neurobiology has focused its efforts on primary cellular processes of development, http://www.scripps.edu/nb/chair.html

dqmcodebase = "/scripts/" //script folder location Neurobiology Chairman's Overview Gerald M. Edelman, M.D., Ph.D. Development and morphogenesis require repeated rounds of differential gene expression. A variety of factors regulate this expression, including elements within the genes themselves and protein factors that bind to the elements. In examining such elements in genes for cell adhesion molecules, Fred Jones and his colleagues discovered a homeobox protein, Barx2, that affects a wide variety of differentiation processes. Exploration of the activity of Barx2 and its targets by Robyn Meech has opened new front lines related to breast cancer, muscle development, and chondrogenesis. In examining the messenger RNAs expressed in response to neural cell adhesion, Vince Mauro noted that many mRNAs had sequences that matched or were complementary to ribosomal RNA. By analyzing a subset of these sequences, he and his colleagues defined the characteristics of novel sequences within mRNAs that can connect the translation machinery to the message in the absence of the traditional cap sequence. These internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) were known for viral RNAs but had not been extensively defined in cellular mRNAs. Dr. Mauro and his colleagues went on to show that cellular and viral IRESs differ; the cellular sites are made up of small modules, and the action of cellular IRESs does not necessarily depend on specific secondary structures in the mRNA. Regulation of translation appears to play an important role in the nervous system, and IRESs may play a special role in the functioning of the synapse. Peter Vanderklish and his colleagues have been studying the factors involved in synaptic events thought to provide the basis of memory and learning in the area of the brain called the hippocampus. Translation of mRNA in dendrites plays a special role in this process. Dr. Vanderklish and his colleagues found that specific messages at the synapse are differentially translated depending on whether the messages are regulated by cap- or IRES-dependent processes. In addition, these researchers are working with Bruce Cunningham and his colleagues to define and characterize granules containing ribosomes, proteins, and mRNAs that are transported from the cell body to the synaptic area in order to allow translation to occur in response to synaptic activity.

Edelman, Gerald M. , born in 1929, American biochemist, neuroscientist, and winner of the 1972 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. He shared the Prize with British biochemist Rodney R. Porter for their discoveries concerning the chemical structure of antibodies. Edelman was born in New York City on July 1, 1929. He earned a B.S. degree in chemistry from Ursinus College, in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, in 1950, and his M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1954. In 1955 Edelman entered the United States Army Medical Corps and served in a military hospital in Paris. Edelman received his Ph.D. degree in biochemistry and immunology from Rockefeller University in 1960 and remained there as a faculty member. In 1992 he became chairman of the department of neurobiology at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California. Edelman is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and a foreign member of the Academy of Sciences of the Institute of France. Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins (Ig), are blood proteins that help eliminate antigens, foreign substances such as bacteria or toxins. The antibody-antigen reaction is the central mechanism in the body's system of self-defense. In the 1950s, little was known about the chemical structure of immunoglobulins and exactly how they were able to recognize the huge number of antigens that the body encountered. In England, Porter, who had been studying rabbit immunoglobulin, proposed its structure was a single chain of

Gerald Edelman 's Work Topobiology; An Introduction to Molecular Embryology Neural Darwinism; The Theory of Neuronal Group Selection The Remembered Present: A Biological Theory of Consciousness Bright Air, Brilliant Fire: On the Matter of the Mind Edelman has asked the question: should we attempt to construct models of functioning minds or should we attempt to construct models of brains which through interactions with their surroundings can develop minds? Edelman's answer is that we should make model brains and I think Edelman is on the right track. Unfortunately, most folks who are trying to figure out the brain can't seem to figure out Edelman. That's too bad. So, I must start with my spin on the Study of Edelman: Dealing with Edelman's writing My comments on Edelman can be found at the links listed below, Edelman  contents: Neural Edelmanism: his approach to Theoretical Neurobiology Artificial Intelligence Research vs. Theoretical Neurobiology Molecular Memory Mechanism in Neural Network Models Selectionism vs. Constructionism in Brain Function ... Similarities between Edelman and Wittgenstein Edelman's books can be taken as motivation for attempting a certain type theoretical neurobiology, in which known mechanisms of synaptic plasticity are put into brain network models.  An example of current work using molecular mechanisms of synapse plasticity in neural network models: In " MODELS OF THE CEREBELLUM AND MOTOR LEARNING " by James C.
