Stephen Kuffler was a prominent Hungarian-American neurophysiologist, widely regarded as the 'father of modern neuroscience.' Born on August 24, 1913, he played a crucial role in furthering our understanding of vision, neural coding, and the neurobiology of behavior. Kuffler, along with Nobel laureates Sir John Eccles and Sir Bernard Katz, delivered influential research lectures at the University of Sydney, shaping the intellectual climate there. He founded the Department of Neuroscience at Harvard in 1966 and conducted significant research on neuromuscular junctions and the neurotransmitter GABA, essential for regulating neuronal excitability in the central nervous system.
