Building a cathedral: neuroscience and the legacy of Leon Wolfe
Abstract
This article describes the scientific legacy of Dr. Leon Wolfe, with illustrations from his contributions to insect physiology, glycolipid, and eicosanoid biochemistry as well as to our understanding of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses and lysosomal storage diseases. In addition to the written record, Wolfe inspired all who knew him with his boundless imagination and enthusiasm for science and his ability to see the promise and potential of every experiment.
