He and his wife, Roberta Krieg, funded three Cortical Kudos Awards to stimulate interest in this important research area. These awards are unique as they are given to scientists at important stages in their careers. The awards begin with the Scholar's Prize for outstanding potential while a predoctoral student; then an Explorer's Award for achievements within five years of receiving a postgraduate degree (Ph.D./MD); and, finally, the Discoverer's Award for major contributions by a senior established investigator. One of the most important functions of the Cajal Club is the awarding of these prizes for research into the structure and function of the cerebral cortex (including the hippocampus) and/or its connections.
