Eliot Stellar was born. An eminent physiological psychologist and pioneer in the field of behavioral neuroscience, Stellar was professor of physiological psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1950 in collaboration with Clifford Morgan, Stellar co-authored ‘physiological psychology,’ a hugely popular textbook widely considered as the definitive text on the subject for many years.
As a researcher, Stellar was primarily interested in how the brain initiated and integrated behavioral responses in order to satisfy bodily needs and in 1954 he published his classic paper on the topic 'The Physiology of Motivation;’ one of the most cited papers in academic psychology.
Among his many professional accolades, Eliot Stellar was awarded the Warren Medal of the Society of Experimental Physiologists in 1967 and received the American Psychological Foundation’s Gold Medal for Lifetime Achievement in 1993.
