Hans Kuypers, who died in September 1989, was one of the founding fathers of neuroscience. Kuypers studied medicine in Leiden, The Netherlands and trained as a neuroanatomist with Nauta. His early work at Maryland and at Cleveland led to a wealth of new discoveries about descending motor pathways. Subsequently at Rotterdam, where he was foundation professor, and at Cambridge, England he searched for new brain probes, including retrograde fluorescent tracers and viruses for labelling chains of interconnected neurons. He saw the need to relate new neuroanatomical findings to brain function: in particular, how the brain steers hand and arm movements. He will be greatly missed by a long and distinguished list of collaborators on every continent.
汉斯·凯珀斯于1989年9月去世，他是神经科学的奠基人之一。凯珀斯在荷兰莱顿学习医学，并在瑙塔的指导下成为一名神经解剖学家。他早年在马里兰州和克利夫兰的工作带来了关于下行运动通路的大量新发现。随后在鹿特丹（他在那里担任基础教授）以及英国剑桥，他寻找新的脑研究手段，包括逆行荧光示踪剂和用于标记相互连接的神经元链的病毒。他认识到有必要将新的神经解剖学发现与脑功能联系起来，特别是大脑如何控制手部和手臂运动。他将被各大洲众多杰出的合作者深深怀念。
