Abstract

Harvey Jules Karten passed away on July 15, 2024. With his passing, the world lost a remarkable and energetic man who had made major contributions to neuroscience, in particular, resetting our understanding of the evolution of the forebrain and the evolution of intelligence. He left behind a legion of loyal colleagues with whom he had collaborated and shared ideas, students he had inspired and trained, and non-neuroscientist friends he had made in the passionate pursuit of his hobbies-sailing, skiing, and hiking.

Keywords: Harvey Karten; Wulst; basal ganglia; birds; brain evolution; dorsal ventricular ridge; telencephalon.
