Abstract
Memories of John Lisman
Highlights
John Lisman had a passionate connection with life, art and science
This paper became highly cited in the literature and created a number of new research directions in the Lisman lab and with collaborators. Another goal of this project was to understand how place-cell information is processed in different hippocampal sites based on oscillations and anatomical connections
The early 1990s was the time when John transitioned from Limulus photo-transduction to the field of synaptic memory
Summary
John Lisman had a passionate connection with life, art and science. He lived his life till the end with enthusiasm and energy, passing away on October 20, 2017. As the CaMKII field developed, John continually modified his initial model, incorporating both new purely theoretical approaches (with a host of collaborators) and new experimental data from his lab and from the labs of colleagues. This paper became highly cited in the literature and created a number of new research directions in the Lisman lab and with collaborators Another goal of this project was to understand how place-cell information is processed in different hippocampal sites based on oscillations and anatomical connections. Combining these ideas, John built a model of hippocampal functioning that he continued to refine based on new experimental data. Obituaries: (Jensen and Idiart, 2017; Kepecs, 2018)
