1873-1961. German physiologist whose work on
the nervous system established that a
chemical substance is responsible for the
stimulation of one neurone by another. The
substance was shown by the physiologist Henry
Dale to be acetylcholine, now known to be one
of the most vital neurotransmitters. For this
work Loewi and Dale were jointly awarded the
1936 Nobel Prize for Medicine.
