Information trouvée : décès 2004 : Julius Axelrod, 92, the National Institute of Mental Health neuroscientist
who shared the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for showing "how nerves talk
to each other," died Dec. 29 at his home in Rockville. He had heart trouble in recent
years. A basket maker's son, Dr. Axelrod got a late start in the career that would
bring him renown. He spent years as a biochemist in a food-testing laboratory before
he focused on neuroscience, the study of nerves and their relation to behavior and
learning. Dr. Axelrod was born May 30, 1912, on the Lower East Side of Manhattan
and was a 1933 biology graduate of City College of New York.
