David Hubel

It was only in 1999 that Torsten Wiesel, who won the nobel prize with David Hubel in 1981 for his studies of the development of the visual cortex, after much public denial, admitted in print that adult neuroplasticity was a genuine phenomenon.

B. F. Skinner was formalizing his discoveries about the process of learning, David Hubel and Torston Wiesel, who would later win the Nobel Prize, were uncovering the neurological basis for how the brain puts together visual images, while another Nobel Prize winner, George von Békésy, was uncovering the mechanisms by which we interpret the sounds that we hear.

In the experiments that gave birth to this paradigm in the 1970s, Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel found that sewing shut one eye of a newborn kitten rewired its brain: so few neurons connected from the shut eye to the visual cortex that the animal was blind even after its eye was reopened.

Citing the pioneering work of Nobel Prize-winning Harvard researchers David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel, the new study found that visual stimulus turns up the expression of some genes and turns down the expression of others, somewhat like a conductor cuing the members of an orchestra.

David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel's (1962) Nobel Prize-winning work establishing the receptive fields of neurons in striate cortex is often interpreted as revealing cells whose function is edge detection.

Shortly after, David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel of Harvard demonstrated that depriving kittens of visual stimulation to an eye would alter connections between the eye and the brain.
