Eccles was a 1963 Nobel laureate who shared the Nobel Prize in 1963 with Alan L. Hodgkin and Andrew F. Huxley "for their discoveries concerning the ionic mechanisms involved in excitation and inhibition in the peripheral and central portions of the nerve cell membrane." Shortly after John Eccles completed his studies of synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord, for which he was awarded the 1963 Nobel Prize in physiology/medicine, he opened another chapter of neuroscience with his work on the cerebellum. From 1963 to 1967, Eccles and his colleagues in Canberra successfully dissected the complex neuronal circuitry in the cerebellar cortex. In the 1967 monograph, "The Cerebellum as a Neuronal Machine", he, in collaboration with Masao Ito and Janos Szentágothai, presented blue-print-like wiring diagrams of the cerebellar neuronal circuitry. These stimulated worldwide discussions and experimentation on the potential operational mechanisms of the circuitry and spurred theoreticians to develop relevant network models of the machine-like function of the cerebellum.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. 4 leaves, 335, [1] pp; 165 figs. Original cloth. Fore edges of pages foxed, else Near Fine, in worn and stained dust jacket. First Edition. COPY OF FRANCIS CRICK, with his signature "FHC Crick" on the front pastedown (see photo). In later years Crick's signature was different, a neat "Francis Crick". But at the time of this book (1967), and earlier, he wrote either "FHC Crick" or "FHCC" (FHC = Francis Harry Compton), in a less neat manner. The small bookseller label of W. Heffer and Sons, Cambridge, at the bottom of the front pastedown, is of interest. Heffer was the major bookstore in Cambridge, which is where Crick was in 1967. It was only in the late 70s that he left the UK and moved to the Salk Institute in La Jolla CA. This copy shows that well before Crick moved to the Salk Institute to do neuroscience he had an interest in the brain, leading him to buy this book. Crick's Nobel Prize for DNA was in 1962. John C. Eccles received his Nobel Prize in the following year. Eccles shared the Nobel Prize in 1963 with Alan L. Hodgkin and Andrew F. Huxley "for their discoveries concerning the ionic mechanisms involved in excitation and inhibition in the peripheral and central portions of the nerve cell membrane.".
