Abstract
Ladislav Tauc was born in Pardubice, Czechoslovakia. He started his scientific career in 1945 at the Institute of Plant Physiology, Masaryk University, Brno with Vladimir Ulehla. In 1949 he obtained his (first) doctorate for his research work on bioelectric events in plants, whereupon he departed from Czechoslovakia for the ‘free world’. After obtaining a French scholarship, he continued to study at the École Normale Supérieure, a prestigious school in Paris. There, he joined the group of the great French neurophysiologist Alfred Fessard at the Marey Institute in Paris, where he met Albe Fessard, P. Buser and many leaders in physiology. In 1950, he defended his French thesis and, soon afterwards, under the influence of Alfred Fessard, he switched from plant physiology to the study of the nervous system in animals.
