Abstract
In this occasional series we record the views and personal experience of people who have specially contributed to the evolution of ideas in the Journal's field of interest. Murray Jarvik's long and fruitful career in research and teaching spans the 50-year period beginning before the explosion of interest in psychopharmacology up to the present. His studies on LSD, among the first ever published, were followed by studies on the effects of drugs on memory and memory consolidation, which were then followed by studies on nicotine, smoking and pharmacological interventions in tobacco dependence. His contributions to the field of tobacco dependence have earned him international recognition.
