Medler publishes historical paper about Graham Hoyle

Nov 03, 2023

Dr. Scott Medler, associate professor of physician assistant studies, has published a historical paper about the eminent neuromuscular biologist Graham Hoyle in Advances in Physiology Education. 

Hoyle was an important neuroscientist, muscle biologist, and zoologist throughout much of the second half of the 20th century. He was trained by Bernard Katz at University College London and later worked with C.A.G. Wiersma at Caltech. 

As a professor at the University of Oregon, Hoyle helped found the Institute of Neuroscience and trained many prominent scientists in the fields of neuromuscular biology and neuroethology.
