An Obituary to Jacques Glowinski (1936–2020)

Abstract

This is an obituary of Dr. Jacques Glowinski (1936-2020), one of the last «giants» of Neuropharmacology trained in the sixties in the laboratory of Julius Axelrod (Nobel Prize in 1970). He was a founding father of this discipline in France and his famous laboratory (INSERM Unit 114) at the Collège de France in Paris has trained for 40 years (1966-2006) generations of fellows who became leader neuroscientists in France and abroad. His most important scientific contributions completely revisited the regulatory mechanisms of central dopaminergic neurotransmission and its implications in neuropsychiatric disorders.
