William H. Harlow

William H. Harlow was an influential American physiologist known for his research on the eye's response to light, particularly the discovery of the "Harlow reflex," a key concept in visual neuroscience. His work helped deepen understanding of how the visual system processes stimuli, contributing to fields like psychology, medicine, and neuroscience. Harlow's studies improved knowledge of sensory development and the functioning of the visual pathway, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of visual and neurological disorders. His contributions have had a lasting impact on science and medicine, advancing our understanding of human sensory perception and response.
