Jeffrey Taube uczęszczał do Evanston Township High School w Evanston (Illinois) w latach 1966-1970. W latach 1970-1974 był studentem University of Michigan, gdzie uzyskał licencjat (Bachelor of General Studies)[4]. Profesorem tej uczelni był wówczas James B. Ranck Jr. (w University of Michigan od roku 1962, od roku 1975 – profesor fizjologii w Downstate), biofizyk zajmujący się połączeniami między pojedynczymi neuronami hipokampa i mózgiem, założyciel Hippocampal laboratory, odkrywce „komórek kierunku głowy”[5][6], autor licznych publikacji z tej dziedziny[7].

Uwagi edytuj

  1. Za wyjaśnienie budowy i działania neuronowego systemu lokalizacji przestrzennej Nagrodę Nobla w dziedzinie fizjologii lub medycyny otrzymały w roku 2014 trzy osoby: John O’Keefe, May-Britt Moser i Edvard Moser. Jerzy Vetulani uważa, że odkrycie „naszego wewnętrznego GPS” było zasługą co najmniej czterech osób (Komitet Noblowski nie może przyznawać nagrody za odkrycia dokonane przez więcej niż trzy osoby). Zdaniem Vetulaniego czwartym współautorem odkrycia był Jeffrey S. Taube, kontynuujący badania swojego nauczyciela, Jamesa Rancka, odkrywcy „komórek kierunku głowy” w roku 1984[1][2]). Neurony te stają się aktywne np. wówczas, gdy wchodząc do pomieszczenia kierujemy głowę w stronę kilku wybranych przedmiotów – utrwalonych punktów orientacyjnych, umożliwiających w przyszłości poruszanie się w tym pomieszczeniu bez udziału wzroku, np. w ciemności (przemeblowanie pomieszczenia zakłóca działanie wewnętrznego GPS)[1].
