He has been President-emeritus at Rockefeller University since 1998, when he stepped down after seven years of service as Rockefeller's president. Under his leadership 30 new laboratories conducting vanguard research in key areas of biology, chemistry and physics were added, and the renowned Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center joined with Rockefeller in 1996. Professor Wiesel joined the Rockefeller faculty in 1983 to head a new laboratory of neurobiology, and later that year he was named the university's Vincent and Brooke Astor Professor. Prior to that he was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and Chairman of the Department of Neurobiology. In 1998 Professor Wiesel was elected president of the International Brain Research Organization, which is based in Paris, and was named Secretary General of the Human Frontier Science Program in 2000. He also serves on numerous Boards, including Chair of the Board of Governors of the New York Academy of Sciences.

Torsten Wiesel From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Torsten N. Wiesel Torsten Nils Wiesel (b. June 3 ) was co-recipient with David H. Hubel of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine , for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system ; the prize was shared with Roger W. Sperry for his independent research on the cerebral hemispheres. Contents Research Biography References External links ... edit Research The Hubel and Wiesel experiments greatly expanded the scientific knowledge of sensory processing. In one experiment, done in , they inserted a microelectrode into the primary visual cortex of an anesthetized cat. They then projected patterns of light and dark on a screen in front of the cat. They found that some neurons fired rapidly when presented with lines at one angle, while others responded best to another angle. They called these neurons "simple cells." Still other neurons, which they termed "complex cells," responded best to lines of a certain angle moving in one direction. These studies showed how the visual system builds an image from simple stimuli into more complex representations (Goldstein, 2001). Hubel and Wiesel received the Nobel Prize for their work on ocular dominance columns in the and . By depriving baby kittens from using one eye, they showed that columns in the primary visual cortex receiving inputs from the other eye took over the areas that would normally receive input from the deprived eye. These kittens also did not develop areas receiving input from both eyes, a feature needed for
