Popis: Rainer (Ray) Guillery was a remarkably productive neuroscientist and as such left an indelible mark on the field, both in terms of his direct contributions and also through his success at mentoring and nurturing young scholars who went on to successful careers of their own. Ray's work profoundly advanced our understanding of the related fields of development and thalamocortical functioning; his work was highly imaginative and insightful; and he was a cherished colleague and role model for his many former students and friends in the field. Ray's scholarly efforts were carried out on three continents. He trained initially in London and, after serving on the faculties at the Universities of Wisconsin and Chicago in the United States, he returned to England at the University of Oxford. After retiring from his Oxford post, he went back as a visiting scholar to the University of Wisconsin, and then moved to a post at the University of Marmara in Turkey, which is located in the Asian sector of Istanbul. He finally returned to Oxford in an emeritus capacity and remained there until his death.
