Carla Shatz, the Nathan Marsh Pusey professor and head of the Department of Neurobiology, hosted a tea in honor of the 20th anniversary of David Hubel receiving the Nobel Prize. Hubel, an HMS research professor of neurobiology, became a Nobel laureate in 1981 with Torsten Wiesel for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system. They shared the prize with Roger Sperry for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres.
