For the next several issues, we shall honor those highly respected leaders and investigators who played important roles for the Council for High Blood Pressure Research (CHBPR). Each of the individuals that we honor had been selected as recipients of the Stouffer–Ciba–Novartis Awards, or was a speaker invited to present the Corcoran or other important Special Lectures. Then, sometime following these acknowledgments of their seminal scientific achievements or scientific presentations highlighting their important investigative work, they were honored by selection to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their research achievements.

We begin this series by honoring Doctors Julius Axelrod and Ulf von Euler. Doctor Axelrod, then on the scientific staff of the National Institutes of Mental Health of the National Institute of Health, was a founding member of the CHBPR and an active participant in many of the CHBPR Fall Scientific meetings in its earliest years. The various presentations and papers presented by Doctor Axelrod and his coworkers dealt with the role of catecholamines and their metabolism in experimental hypertension and its complications. Several of the coauthors with Doctor Axelrod on these scientific programs of the Council in the mid-1960s have continued to remain active in the Council and are active authors and reviewers for our journal.
