Extractions: (b. March 26, 1911, Leipzig, Ger.), German-born British physiologist who investigated the functioning of nerves and muscles. His studies on the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which carries impulses from nerve fibre to muscle fibre, won him a share (with Julius Axelrod and Ulf von Euler ) of the 1970 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine After receiving a medical degree from the University of Leipzig in 1934, Katz emigrated to England, where he pursued advanced studies at University College, London, taking a Ph.D. in 1938. Upon receiving a Carnegie fellowship, he studied in Australia (1939-42) and then served in the Royal Australian Air Force during World War II. He returned to University College in 1946 and from 1952 to 1978 was professor and head of the biophysics department. Katz was knighted in 1969. Katz wrote Electric Excitation of Nerve Nerve, Muscle and Synapse (1966), and The Release of Neural Transmitter Substances (1969). He and his associates made numerous discoveries concerning the chemistry of nerve transmission, including the role of calcium ions in promoting the release of neurotransmitter substances and the fact that quanta of these substances are being released constantly at random intervals.

Extractions: Sir Bernard Katz: Coordinating Muscles and Nerves Will Waller ANSC 2401: Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals Department of Animal Science and Food Technology Texas Tech University Lubbock Throughout his 92-year life, Bernard Katz advanced the fields of biophysics, biochemistry and neurophysiology. Perhaps best known for furthering our understanding of the motor neuron synapse and the role of acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter, Bernard Katz garnered countless honors, including a share of the 1970 Nobel Prize in Medicine. Bernard Katz served as a World War II pilot officer, husband and professor at University College London in addition to his role as a research scientist. (Anonymous, 2004) Keywords: Bernard Katz, acetylcholine, motor neuronl, synapse University of Leipzig (1934). After this time, Germany became a hostile place for a Russian Jew with Hitlers rise to power. Bernard Katz left Germany to pursue his PhD at the University College London. Upon completion in 1938, Bernard Katz left for Australia where he fought in World War II as a pilot. There he also became a naturalized British citizen and married Marguerite Penly. In 1946, he returned to the University College London where he succeeded A.V. Hill as Biophysics Professor in 1952. In 1978, Bernard Katz retired as professor and department chair. Bernard Katz died in 2003. (Colquhoun, 2003)

Extractions: Katz was born in Leipzig, studied medicine at the university there, and then did postgraduate work at University College, London. Having done research in Australia 1939-42, he then served in the Royal Australian Air Force until the end of World War II, after which he returned to the UK. He spent the rest of his academic career at University College, London, becoming professor 1952. In the 1940s, Katz joined in the Nobel-prizewinning research of Alan Hodgkin on the electrochemical behaviour of nerve membranes. During the 1950s, Katz found that minute amounts of acetylcholine were randomly released by nerve endings at the neuromuscular junction, giving rise to very small electrical potentials; he also found that the size of the potential was always a multiple of a certain minimum value. These findings led him to suggest that acetylcholine was released in discrete 'packets' (analogous to quanta) of a few thousand molecules each, and that these packets were released relatively infrequently while a nerve was at rest but very rapidly when an impulse arrived at the neuromuscular junction.

Extractions: Last month, Bernard Katz, who won the Nobel Prize in 1970 for his work on the synapse, died. Katz was a member of Sydney University in the early 1940's and gave physiology lectures with Eccles and Kuffler. In 1945 he worked in the Madsen building with the group in radiophysics that were laying the foundations of the new discipline of radioastronomy. The International Brain Research Organization asked Professor Max Bennett to write an obituary which appears on their website.

Extractions: The University of Sydney Discipline of Physiology General Information Research Information for Students Research Opportunities ... General Information The principal aim of the department is to discover the origins of human diseases by furthering knowledge in the fields of biology and medicine, especially as they relate to the nervous system, cardiovascular system and muscular systems. Basic research into the mechanisms by which these systems function is paramount. Such research will allow for improved methods of preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases. The great researchers profiled below laid the foundations for the present efforts of our current academic staff. The Department of Physiology, as a member of the Institute for Biomedical Research , was strongly influenced by the intellectual environment provided by Sir John Eccles, Sir Bernard Katz and Stephen Knuffle. They gave research lectures in the Anderson Stuart Building while working at Sydney Hospital, prior to their winning Nobel Prizes for research into the nervous system. The Department of Physiology was established when Sir Thomas Anderson Stuart took up the Chair of Anatomy and Physiology from 1883 to 1920. He was integral in attracting respected researchers to the department, however most of his energy was spent on establishing the Medical School.

Extractions: March 26, 1911 - April 20, 2003 From The Independent, Saturday 26 April 2003 Professor Sir Bernard Katz Biophysicist who arrived in England with £4 and went on to win a Nobel Prize Bernard Katz was an icon of post-war biophysics. He was on of the last of the generation of distinguished physiologists who were refugees from the Third Reich and who contributed immeasurably t the scientific reputation of their adopted country. In 1970 he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. He was born and brought up in Leipzig, though he was never a German citizen. His father, Max, was a fur merchant who had left Russia in 1904, and met his wife, Eugenie Rabinowitz, who was of Polish origin, in Germany. Until he was six, Katz was a citizen of Tsarist Russia, but then, because of the Russian Revolution, became stateless, and remained so until he was 30 when he became a naturalized British citizen. In Leipzig, Katz was brought up in what he himself described as a "completely 'unorthodox' and liberal way", but nevertheless had his first experience of being an alien Jew in 1920, at the age of nine, when he was refused entrance to the Schiller Real-Gymnasium, and consequently had a classical education at the König Albert Gymnasium. There he chose to learn Latin and Greek rather than the more mathematical option (because, he said, it gave him more time to play chess in the cafes of Leipzig), though he acquired a good level of mathematics anyway.
