Looks like this page needs some reworking for factual accuracy (e.g., Kandel wasn't so much interested in learning theory/machine learning as he was in human learning). Also, the article's treatment of Kandel's history seems to hop around a bit rather than presenting it chronologically. Putting this on my to-do list. --Diberri 12:19, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Also, might want to mention his book, Principles of Neural Science (Kandel, Schwartz and Jessel) which is pretty important reference book for many.
