David H. Hubel (born 1926) was a neurophysiologist born in Windsor, Ontario, who grew up in Montreal and held United States citizenship through his parents and Canadian citizenship by birth. He graduated from McGill in 1947 with honors in mathematics and physics, then studied medicine there and trained in neurology before going to Johns Hopkins in 1954. At Harvard Medical School he spent some twenty years working with Torsten Wiesel on the receptive field properties of cells in the central visual pathways, collaboration that brought them a share of the 1981 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The years of hospital training were interrupted by a year of clinical neurophysiology under Herbert Jasper, who was unequalled for his breadth and clarity of thinking in brain science.

David Hubel joined the laboratory in 1968, and the two of us decided to explore the receptive field properties of cells in the central visual pathways. This marked the beginning of our twenty year collaboration.
