Edward Kravitz : ウィキペディア英語版 | Edward Kravitz Edward Arthur Kravitz, Ph.D. (born December 19, 1932) is the George Packer Berry Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School.〔(Edward Kravitz Faculty Biography, Harvard Medical School )〕 Early in his scientific career Ed and colleagues demonstrated that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) functions as a neurotransmitter.〔(Kravitz, E.A., Potter, D.D., Van Gelder, N.M. 1962. Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid and Other Blocking Substances extracted from Crab Muscle. Nature, 194: p.382-3. )〕 In addition, he and Antony Stretton were the first to use the intracellular dye procion yellow to visualize neuronal architecture.〔(Stretton A.O., Kravitz E.A. 1968. Neuronal geometry: determination with a technique of intracellular dye injection. Science, 162: p.132-4. )〕 Later, Ed’s work with neuroamines demonstrated that serotonin and octopamine act as synaptic modulators. Ed continued to explore the function of amines using ''Homarus americanus'', the American lobster, as a model organism to study aggression. He currently works on aggressive behavior using the genetically manipulable model organism, ''Drosophila melanogaster'', the fruit fly. ==Personal life == Ed Kravitz was born in New York to Ada Machlus and Isadore Kravitz. He has one older brother, Bill, born in 1929. Kravitz grew up in The Bronx during the Great Depression. More than once he skipped an entire grade in order to be challenged in school and ended up in college at age 16.〔(Camhi J. 2000. Introduction to the King Solomon lecture of Edward Kravitz. J Comp Physiol., 186: p. 219-20. )〕 Ed met his wife Kathryn Anne Frakes at the University of Michigan; they were married in 1959. Together they had two sons, David〔()〕 (b. February 21, 1964) and James〔()〕 (b. May 14, 1966).
