Nobel Prize centenary: Robert Bárány and the vestibular system

The hundredth anniversary of Robert Bárány's Nobel Prize in Medicine offers the opportunity to highlight the importance of his discoveries on the physiology and pathophysiology of the vestibular organs. Bárány developed the method of caloric vestibular stimulation that revolutionized the investigation of the semicircular canals and that is still widely used today. Caloric vestibular stimulation...

Robert Insall

Robert Insall was born in London in 1965, into a family of architects, musicians and historians. To their great surprise, he was obviously scientifically inclined from an early age. He did a B.A. at Cambridge University, then stuck around in Cambridge for a Ph.D., where he got interested in Dictyostelium, followed by a postdoc in Johns Hopkins, where he got interested in chemotaxis and cell mov...
