Catherine Dulac and Cori Bargmann were chosen as co-recipients of the 11th Perl-UNC Neuroscience Prize.

The prize is named for UNC School of Medicine professor Edward Perl. Perl was the first to discover 30 years ago that a particular class of nerve cells responds to painful stimuli.

Past recipients of the prize include four Nobel Prize winners for physiology and medicine.

The prize carries a $10,000 award and was given to the pair for their research on animals’ sex discrimination and feeding behaviors.
Dulac will give a lecture following a presentation of her share of the award April 21 at 11:45 a.m. in Room G202 in the medical biomolecular research building.

Bargmann will deliver her lecture and receive her share of the award at the 12th Annual UNC Neuroscience Symposium Oct. 13.
