Ladislav Tauc (1926–1999) was a French neuroscientist, born in Pardubice, Czechoslovakia.
He was a pioneer in
Eric R. Kandel. There Eric R. Kandel started to investigate the gill withdrawal reflex and postsynaptic potentials (PSP) in identified neurons in the abdominal ganglion of Aplysia.[1][2]
"The introduction of a 'simplified' brain (the Aplysia nervous system) to study the cellular and molecular basis of organized neuronal interactions, has been described as one of Tauc’s essential contributions to neuroscience."[3]
Since the year 2000 an annual meeting is organized in honor of Ladislav Tauc.[4]
