"The cat," says the author of this authoritative text, Alvin L. Berman, born 19 February 1914, and dead by October 3, 1999, "is one of the most widely used animals in modern research on the central nervous system" (from the Preface). In 1992 the Alvin L. Berman and Ruth Bleier Memorial Student Research Award was initiated, awarded by the Friends of the Waisman Center, commemorating the contributions of these two Waisman Center scientists (Waisman Center dot edu web-site). The brains of nine adult cats were prepared for this study, and the heads were placed in the "standard" Horseley-Clarke Stereotaxic Position (Horseley, 1908), the apparent choice for decades of stereotaxic photography.
