PERSPECTIVE

Karl-Friedrich Fischbach's First Publications and Their Impact in the Biological Sciences

Abstract

Predictions from the theory of transfection, Karl-Friedrich Fischbach's first paper, were confirmed 20 years later. Also a model, proposed already in 1977 by Karl-Friedrich and colleagues, to explain the nonmonotonous dependence on light intensity of phototaxis in Drosophila, finds support in recent studies of functional neuroanatomy.
