Screams, euphoria, jumps and hugs. This was the reaction of American neuroscientist Karl Deisseroth's family after receiving the news that their father had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Medicine. “I have exciting news. This morning I received a call to tell me that I have won the Nobel Prize in Medicine,” Deisseroth told his children. Stanford University (California) has shared on social media the video that Deisseroth recorded at the moment of breaking the news to his family.
