Historical Background , Oddly, no psychologist has received the Nobel Peace Prize. Wilhelm Wundt (father of experimental psychology) was nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

1ST PRIZE : Ivan P. Pavlov (1849-1936) is remembered in history of sciences for his work on behavior, "psychological reflexes", and conditional reflexes. The Nobel Prize was granted in 1904 for his work on the physiology of digestion.

Since Benjamin Rush, a framer of the United States Constitution and father of American psychiatry, there have been two psychiatrists who have won the Nobel Prize. The first winner was Julius Wagner-Jauregg, psychiatrist (b. Wels, Austria 1857, d. Vienna, Austria 1940).

Awarded for “the greatest benefit to humankind” Each prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma, and a cash award. A person or organisation awarded the Nobel Prize is called Nobel Prize laureate. The word “laureate” refers to being signified by the laurel wreath.


In 2000, Eric shared the Nobel Prize for groundbreaking work into the changes that brain cells undergo when memories are made. His research has helped make significant advancements in the study of diseases like Alzheimer's and schizophrenia.
Kandel won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research on the sea slug Aplysia, which helped to uncover important molecular mechanisms that drive the processes of learning and memory.
