Patricia Goldman-Rakic (1937-2003), the co-founder of this journal, was a pioneering neuroscientist who made transformational discoveries about the prefrontal cortex and the neurobiological basis of working memory. Her research served as the foundation for cognitive neuroscience, and paved the path for women in science. Her multidisciplinary approach created a new paradigm, where the scientific question, rather than a single method, was paramount to the investigation. The current review provides a brief summary of her extraordinary life and scientific contributions.
帕特里夏·戈德曼-拉基克(Patricia Goldman-Rakic,1937 年-2003 年),本刊的联合创始人,是一位开创性的神经科学家,她在额叶皮质和工作记忆的神经生物学基础方面做出了具有变革性的发现。她的研究为认知神经科学奠定了基础,并为女性从事科学研究铺平了道路。她的多学科方法开创了一种新的范式,在这种范式中,科学问题而非单一方法是调查的关键。本综述简要总结了她非凡的一生和科学贡献。
