Abstract

The Karl Spencer Lashley Award for Distinguished Achievement in the Neurosciences has been bestowed upon 50 of the world's leading neuroscientists of the last half century but is not well known. It originated in 1953 when Lashley accumulated excess stock holdings and established a Fund for Neurobiology with 52,000 dollars to provide small grants for neurobiological research. Several years later the assets were transferred to the American Philosophical Society to administer and convert to an award for achievement in neurobiology The nature, amount, and format of the award have evolved ever since. These changes in the award and the characteristics of its recipients are described.

摘要

卡尔·斯宾塞·拉什利神经科学杰出成就奖已授予过去半个世纪里世界上50位顶尖神经科学家，但该奖项并不广为人知。它起源于1953年，当时拉什利积累了过多的股票持有量，并用5.2万美元设立了一个神经生物学基金，为神经生物学研究提供小额资助。几年后，资产被转移到美国哲学学会进行管理，并转变为神经生物学成就奖。从那时起，该奖项的性质、金额和形式一直在演变。本文描述了该奖项的这些变化及其获得者的特点。
