A tribute to Bunky at 125: A comprehensive bibliography of E. M. Jellinek’s publications
No full textObjective: E. M. Jellinek is considered one of the founders of alcohol science. On the 125th anniversary of his birth, the authors wish to contribute to existing, incomplete bibliographies of his work by offering a more comprehensive bibliography that includes his non–alcohol-studies publications as well as newly discovered alcohol-related items.
Method: After we reviewed the two existing Jellinek bibliographies, records were checked against the full-text items to correct errors and discrepancies. This led to the consolidation of the two bibliographies as well as the discovery of various reprints and republished titles. Based on the authors’ parallel biographical investigations into Jellinek’s lesser researched past, it was established that he had started his scientific career much earlier than previously documented. Additional publications attributed to E. M. Jellinek under various names were sought, located, and collected from geographically diverse sources in several languages, with the help of an international network of academic librarians. References were organized and separated by publication type, with reprinted and republished texts arranged underneath the original entries.
Results: Jellinek’s comprehensive bibliography covers 70 years, from 1912 to 1982, with 165 original publications, as compared with the 90 and 96 publications, respectively, of the previous bibliographies. When reprints and republished items were included, the number of publications totals 308, as compared with the previous respective totals of 117 and 116.
Conclusions: The new Jellinek bibliography highlights his multidisciplinary approach to several scientific disciplines and provides the potential to reevaluate his contributions and total scholarly impact.See supplemental material for bibliography.Peer reviewe
Az addikciótudomány történetéből: E. M. Jellinek
No full textThis paper pays tribute to a pioneer in addiction science, Elvin Morton Jellinek, born 125 years ago. The authors were inspired to look into Jellinek’s pre-alcohol years while compiling his comprehensive bibliography. This article shares their results in Hungarian for the first time. Jellinek’s role in laying the foundations of a multidisciplinary field is not considered smaller due to his mysterious background and gaps in his biography, also related to his recently verified Hungarian origin. Instead, his complex approach to the alcohol problem, reflected by his complete bibliography, might be better interpreted with an awareness of his past.Peer reviewe

No full textReintroducing Bunky at 125: E.M. Jellinek’s life and contributions to Alcohol Studies
No full textObjective:
Elvin Morton Jellinek (1890–1963) was one of the founders of modern addiction science. This overview is a brief survey of his life and achievements, intended to re-introduce alcohol scholars to his contributions (and possible failings) as well as stimulate interest and historical research in the field.
Method:
The article draws largely from the archival collection of the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies (CAS) Library and the Jellinek memorial issue of the CAS Information Services Newsletter. Scholarly works and personal and institutional records by or about E. M. Jellinek were assembled and, when necessary, translated into English.
Results:
Born in 1890 in New York and raised in Hungary, Jellinek studied at several European universities and worked for various institutions and organizations in Budapest (1914–1920), Sierra Leone, Honduras, and at the Worcester State Hospital, in Massachusetts. In 1941 he became an associate professor of applied physiology at Yale University, where he directed the Yale Summer School of Alcohol Studies from 1941 to 1950. After more than a decade of work with the World Health Organization and several Canadian institutions, he taught and conducted research at the Institute for the Study of Human Problems at Stanford University until his death in 1963. Jellinek was a pioneer in research on the nature and causes of alcoholism and was an early proponent of the disease theory of alcoholism.
Conclusions:
With the help of E. M. Jellinek, the modern era of addiction science was launched with an international outlook that included critical attention to the physical infrastructure and intellectual capital needed to form an interdisciplinary field of basic research, applied science, and clinical practice.Peer reviewe
Cortical expressions of inhibition of return
No full textInhibition of return (IOR) is a phenomenon that has been thought to be closely associated with attention mechanisms. In particular, it might arise from the operation of an attentional mechanism that facilitates visual search by inhibiting both covert attention and eye movements from returning to recently inspected locations. Although IOR has received a great deal of research interest, and mechanisms involving sensory, perceptual, and motor consequences have been proposed, no consensus has yet been reached regarding the stages of information processing at which IOR operates. In the present study, we utilized event-related potential (ERP) measures of visual and motor processes to investigate the processing changes underlying IOR. In three experiments, involving localization, detection, or Go–NoGo discrimination, participants were required to make manual responses to target stimuli. In each of these experiments, IOR was associated with a slowing of premotor processes as indicated by a modulation of the onset of the target-locked lateralized readiness potential (LRP). However, the duration of motor processes was not affected (response-locked LRP latency). Consistent with a perceptual locus of IOR, the amplitudes of the occipital ERP peaks were reduced for targets at cued locations relative to those at uncued locations. These and earlier results together provide considerable support for a model in which salience mechanisms that guide attention orienting are also affected by IOR, in that processing a stimulus at a location results in a lowering of its salience for future processing, making orienting to that location, and responding to targets presented there, more time consuming.Peer reviewedFinal article publishedInhibition of returnSpatial attentionEvent-related potentia

Inhibition of return from stimulus to response
No full textIn a standard inhibition-of-return (IOR) paradigm using a manual key-press response, we examined the effect of IOR both on the amplitude of early sensory event-related brain potential (ERP) components and on the motor-related lateralized readiness potential (LRP). IOR was associated with a delay of premotor processes (target-locked LRP latency) and reduced sensory ERP activity. No effect of IOR was found on motor processes (response-locked LRP latency). Thus, IOR must arise at least in part from changes in perceptual processes, and, at least when measured with manual key presses, IOR does not arise from inhibition of motor processes. These results are consistent with the results of attention-orienting studies and provide support for an inhibition-of-attention explanation for IOR.Peer reviewedFinal article publishe
Stochastic neuron models
No full textThis book describes a large number of open problems in the theory of stochastic neural systems, with the aim of enticing probabilists to work on them. This includes problems arising from stochastic models of individual neurons as well as those arising from stochastic models of the activities of small and large networks of interconnected neurons. The necessary neuroscience background to these problems is outlined within the text, so readers can grasp the context in which they arise. This book will be useful for graduate students and instructors providing material and references for applying probability to stochastic neuron modeling. Methods and results are presented, but the emphasis is on questions where additional stochastic analysis may contribute neuroscience insight. An extensive bibliography is included. Dr. Priscilla E. Greenwood is a Professor Emerita in the Department of Mathematics at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Lawrence M. Ward is a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Brain Research Centre at the University of British Columbia
