John W. Moore is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of
Neurobiology at Duke University Medical Center. He earned a B.S. in
Physics at Davidson College, and a Ph.D. in Physics at the
University of Virginia. His work, spanning some four decades, has
encompassed characterizing the ionic channels in squid axons under
a variety of experimental conditions (e.g., treatment with ions,
drugs, toxins, etc.), propagation of impulses in normal axons
under
a variety of experimental conditions, and synaptic transmission at
neuromuscular junctions.
Ann E. Stuart is a Professor in the Department of Cell and
Molecular Physiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. She earned a B.A. in Biology at Swarthmore College and a
Ph.D. in Physiology at Yale University with John G. Nicholls, and
has done postdoctoral work with Zach Hall and Susumu Hagiwara. The
aim of Dr. Stuart's laboratory has been to understand the first
stages of processing in an invertebrate visual system.
The authors wish to acknowledge the participation in this endeavor
of their son, Jonathan Stuart-Moore, who contributed his skills in
computer graphics and also made it possible for Neurons in Action
to run on the Macintosh platform.
