Area of Focus
Neuroscience and Neurobiology
Published August 1, 1986
ABOUT PAUL'S WORK
Paul Adams is a neurobiologist who studies ion channels – proteins in cell membranes that control movement of electrical charges.
His graduate and postdoctoral work showed that many drugs work by plugging open ion channels in synaptic membranes. Since coming to the United States in 1977, Adams has discovered new varieties of ion channels which are involved in nerve cell excitability. He focuses on neurons and axonal circuitry in the cortex and thalamus. Using computer simulation, mathematical techniques, and analysis of neocortical physiology, he investigates how learning factors into the formation and refinement of elaborate neural networks. His research provides critical insights into the process of learning, how sleep affects the brain, and their implications for memory and consciousness.
BIOGRAPHY
Adams is a professor and researcher in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. Previously, he had been at the University of Texas in Galveston, at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, and at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen.
Adams received a B.A. (1968) from the University of Cambridge and a Ph.D. (1974) from the University of London.

关于保罗的工作
保罗-亚当斯是一位研究离子通道的神经生物学家,离子通道是细胞膜上控制电荷运动的蛋白质。
他的研究生和博士后工作表明,许多药物通过堵塞突触膜中开放的离子通道而发挥作用。 自从1977年来到美国,亚当斯发现了参与神经细胞兴奋性的离子通道的新品种。 他专注于大脑皮层和丘脑的神经元和轴突电路。 他利用计算机模拟、数学技术和对新皮层生理学的分析,研究了学习因素如何形成和完善复杂的神经网络。 他的研究对学习过程、睡眠如何影响大脑以及它们对记忆和意识的影响提供了关键性的见解。
个人简历
亚当斯是纽约州立大学石溪分校神经生物学和行为学系的教授和研究员,也是霍华德-休斯医学研究所的研究员。 在此之前,他曾在加尔维斯顿的德克萨斯大学、巴黎高等师范学院和哥廷根的马克斯-普朗克生物物理化学研究所工作。
亚当斯在剑桥大学获得学士学位(1968年),在伦敦大学获得博士学位(1974年)。
