The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1970 was awarded jointly to Sir Bernard Katz, Ulf von Euler and Julius Axelrod "for their discoveries concerning the humoral transmitters in the nerve terminals and the mechanism for their storage, release and inactivation"
Sir Bernard Katz, FRS (German pronunciation: [ˈbɛʁnaʁt kat͡s] ⓘ; 26 March 1911 – 20 April 2003) was a German-born British physician and biophysicist, noted for his work on nerve physiology; specifically, for his work on synaptic transmission at the nerve-muscle junction.

Jul 5, 2003 · Sir Bernard Katz won a Nobel Prize for solving the puzzle of how signals contained in electrical impulses, travelling along nerve fibres as sequences of spikes, could be relayed across gaps—the synapses—to other cells.
1970 Nobel Laureate in Medicine. for their discoveries concerning the humoral transmittors in the nerve terminals and the mechanism for their storage, release and inactivation.
Sir Bernard Katz established the cellular basis of synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction, the contact point between nerve and muscle. With his death, we lost one of the most distinguished biophysicists of our time.
