英国电生理学家赫胥黎(1963诺贝尔生理学/医学奖得主)前天去世

Sir Andrew Fielding Huxley (22 November 1917 – 30 May 2012) died two days ago.

Huxley was an English physiologist and biophysicist, who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his experimental and mathematical work with Alan Hodgkin on the basis of nerve action potentials, the electrical impulses that enable the activity of an organism to be coordinated by a central nervous system. (read more about him on Wikipedia).

Huxley is a grandson of Thomas Henry Huxley (4 May 1825 – 29 June 1895) -- "Darwin's Bulldog" (“达尔文的斗犬”赫胥黎).

Hodgkin and Huxley's electrophysiological work was done on the giant axon of the Atlantic squid (Loligo pealei), which enabled them to record ionic currents as they would not have been able to do in almost any other neuron. See: 肖静宁:从神经科学的发展看实验材料选择的方法论意义(
