Professor B.N.Koley- The most Illustrious Experimental Physiologist in Post Paintal Era

Professor B.N.Koley & Madam Juthika Koley
Professor B.N.Koley- Former Professor & Head, Department of Physiology, University of Calcutta  is one of the all time great Indian physiologist. He is perhaps the last icon in the Department of Physiology,Calcutta University who carried the legacy of Late Professor A.S.Paintal. Professor Koley's works on experimental physiology is recognized world wide. A true disciplined scientist in his life he has given the  shape of physiological sciences of "Post Paintal era" in India. He was a Welcome Trust Fellow at University of Leeds,UK.His works mainly on cardiac nociceptors, atrial receptors a & b and sensory functions at gut. He invented the projection of nonmyelinated afferent fibres from cardiovascular receptor areas to the area postrema where angiotensin II exerts an action on neurones activated by these afferent fibres. His works substantiate a relationship between the synaptic connexions of non-myelinated vagal afferent fibres from the heart and lungs and the area postrema first time in the domain of vascular sciences.

Professor Koley and Madam Juthika Koley were my teachers in University of Calcutta. Today whatever I am that is possible because of Professor Koley. My regards,respect and salute to our legendary Professor !

    Sir my father Doctor Dilip Kumar Bhattacharjee was a friend of uncle & aunty Koley in Leeds UK. But how now lost touch. Would you be able to share coordinates of either? I last remember uncle was in Nepal. Would highly appreciate a response since my parents are very anxious to contact them. Regards Sujan Bhattacharjee 7290008714
