Professor Jon Storm-Mathisen is 70

Jon Storm-Mathisen is a neuroscientist and professor at the Department of Anatomy, University of Oslo. Storm-Mathisen is co-founder and assistant director of the Centre for Molecular Biology and Neuroscience (CMBN). He is one of the most cited scientists in Norway, and was among the 14 researchers at Norwegian institutions who in 2010 were rated as highly cited in the ISI-index.  Storm-Mathisen received the Anders Jahre price for research in medicine in 2006 for his revolutionary research on neurotransmitters in the brain, where he showed that brain cells communicate by using the amino acid glutamate. He also received the University of Oslo research price in 2004. Storm-Mathisen was elected as a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in 1992 and has been heading the Kavlie prize committee since it was established in 2005.
