弗朗西斯·克里克 对神经科学的贡献 Francis Crick's Contributions to Neuroscience 吴全丰 (Charles Q. Wu)
As we all know, Francis Crick (1916-2004), together with James Watson, discovered the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953.
In the early 1970s, he moved from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, U.K., to the Salk Institute in San Diego, U.S. Since then his main research interest shifted from molecular biology to brain science/neuroscience.
The following is a list of his main contributions / publications to neuroscience:
