Physiology And Medicine In: Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in or Medicine. Sweden's Royal Caroline Institute selected three men to honor with the 1967 Nobel Prize for physiology and medicine in or Medicine. The award was bestowed "for their discoveries concerning the primary chemical and physiological visual processes in the eye." (1) Ragnar Granit, a Swedish neurophysiologist, taught at the Universities of Pennsylvania and Helsinki, Fin., before he joined the Royal Caroline Institute in 1940; he became the director in 1945. Since the 1920s his work has been in color perception, determining the process of impulses in the complex cell network of the retina. (2)
RICHET, re-she', Charles Robert, French physiologist: b. Paris, France, Aug. 26, 1850; d. there, Dec. 4, 1935. He graduated in medicine from the University of Paris (1877) and was professor of physiology and medicine in there (1887-1927). In 1899 he was elected to the Academy of Medicine. Richet experimented with serums to produce immunity and also with antigen injections.
GRANIT, gra-net', Ragnar Arthur (1900- ), Swedish neurophysiologist, who was awarded the 1967 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in or medicine for his work on the physiology and medicine in of vision. He shared the award with two Americans, George Wald and H. K. Hartline.
Contributions to Science. Granit's work on vision consisted of a series of important investigations, rather than a single momentous discovery. In the early 1930's he was the first to observe inhibition in the retina of the eye.
