Researchers working on the cerebral cortex are each year recognized by the Krieg Awards presented at the annual meeting of the Cajal Club. These awards were established by Wendell Krieg, a distinguished neuroanatomist and founder of the Cajal Club. As part of his legacy, Krieg and his wife, Roberta, have endowed a nonprofit foundation the proceeds of which are designated for the Krieg Cortical Kudos Awards to recognize talented neuroscientists who have made particularly noteworthy contributions to understanding the organization, function and development of the cerebral cortex. The awards are traditionally presented at the Cajal Club meetings held in conjunction with the American Association of Anatomists at the Annual Experimental Biology Meeting. The three categories of awards were designed and named by Krieg to reward researchers at different levels of their careers.
