In collaboration with his postdoctoral fellow, Antony "Tony" Stretton, Ed began developing a technique to visualize the structure of neurons in order to determine whether neuronal shapes are genetically specified.
•
After graduating from Evander Childs High School in The Bronx, Ed remained in the neighborhood he grew up in and began his studies at City College of New York (CCNY).
•
Ed continued to explore the function of amines using Homarus americanus, the American lobster, as a model organism to study aggression.
•
Using Procion Yellow, Ed, Tony, and Edith Maier found that neurons from two different animals had strikingly similar morphological shapes.
•
Ed and Tony contacted Imperial Chemicals, a manufacturer of fabric staining dyes located in Providence, RI and obtained over 120 dyes to inject into lobster neurons.
