Autorenporträt
Eric Kandel, geboren 1929 in Wien, ist einer der bedeutendsten Neurowissenschaftler des 20. Jahrhunderts. 1939 emigrierte er mit seiner jüdischen Familie in die USA. Kandel studierte Geschichte und Literatur an der Harvard University und danach Medizin an der New York University. Seit 1974 ist er Professor an der Columbia University in New York. Für seine Forschung erhielt Eric Kandel im Jahr 2000 den Nobelpreis für Medizin. Unter dem Titel "Auf der Suche nach dem Gedächtnis. Die Entstehung einer neuen Wissenschaft des Geistes" erschien Kandels Lebens- und Forschungsgeschichte, die zwei Jahre später unter dem gleichen Titel auch verfilmt wurde.
