Golden Goose Award to Wiesel and Hubel

Caption

Neurophysiologists Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel, whose early research involved showing cats a black dot on a screen, are responsible for major progress in our understanding of the brain, significant advances in childhood cataracts treatment, and informing current research in computer technology. For their decades of research and its serendipitous beginnings, including a lab error, Dr. Wiesel and the late Dr. Hubel will be honored with the Golden Goose Award in Washington on September 17.
