PROVENANCE: ELWOOD HENNEMAN (1915 – 1996) was an American neurophysiologist who studied the properties of vertebrate motor neurons. In 1943 he finished his medical studies at McGill University in Montreal. During a research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Henneman showed that tactile information about the extremities is represented in an orderly map in the ventrolateral thalamus of the cat and monkey. In 1971, Henneman became chair of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School, a position he held until his retirement in 1984.
