Ladislav Tauc was born in Pardubice

and neuronal physiology
. I see that his notability is being questioned. Please see long obituary below by the International Society of Neuroethology
"The introduction of a 'simplified' brain (the Aplysia
nervous system) to study the cellular and molecular basis of organized
neuronal interactions, is probably one of Tauc’s essential contributions to neuroscience
