Extractions: Vol. 24., No. 12 January 21, 1999 BY BOB NELSON University Professor Eric R. Kandel, the biologist and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator who has devoted four decades to discovering what molecular changes take place in cells when an organism learns a new behavior, has been named to receive the 1999 Wolf Foundation Prize in Medicine. The Wolf Prize, Israel's most prestigious award, is presented each year by the president of Israel for achievements in science and art. In the prize's 20-year existence, 17 recipients have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. "I'm deeply honored," said Kandel, 69, who will accept the $100,000 award in a ceremony May 2 at the Knesset, Israel's parliament, in Jerusalem. "I have always felt very privileged to be at Columbia, with its outstanding neurobiology community. In a larger sense, I see this recognition as also reflecting on the intellectual life of that neurobiology community as a whole." What happens in the brain when a memory is formed or when learning takes place has been a major question for both neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists. Until the late 1950s, investigations of these questions were dominated by behavioral approaches that tended to treat the brain as a black box, without any understanding of what took place within it.
