2006 A.J. Ladman AAA/Wiley Exemplary Service Award
T
he A.J. Ladman AAA/Wiley Exemplary Service Award is jointly presented by the American Association of Anatomists (AAA) and John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Publishers. This award is presented to a member of the AAA who has distinguished himself or herself in the field of anatomy and who has provided exemplary service to the association. The recipient of this award for 2006 is Dr. Duane E. Haines, who currently is professor and chairman of the Department of Anatomy at the University of Mississippi Medical School. Dr. Haines received his undergraduate degree in biology in 1965 from Greenville College in Greenville, Illinois. He went to graduate school at Michigan State University, where he received an MS (1967) and a PhD (1969), both in anatomy with a specialization in comparative neuroanatomy. During the last year of his graduate training (1968 –1969), he was an instructor of anatomy in the College of Veterinary Medicine, teaching neuroanatomy in the canine gross anatomy course. In 1969, Dr. Haines began his academic career as an assistant professor in the Department of Anatomy at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Haines moved to West Virginia University in 1973, where he was an associate professor from 1973 to 1978 and was promoted to professor in 1978. In 1982, Dr. Haines became professor and associate chairman of the Department of Anatomy at West Virginia University; he served in this position until 1985. In 1985, he was appointed professor and chairman of the Department of Anatomy at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) in Jackson, Mississippi. He also serves as professor of neurosurgery and professor of neurology at UMMC. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
Dr. Duane E. Haines
Over the years, Dr. Haines’s research has encompassed two general areas of endeavor. His major contributions have been in the field of comparative neuroanatomy through his studies on a variety of mammals. He was one of the first to provide definitive experimental evidence that cerebellar corticonuclear fibers were actually arranged in zones, as had been hypothesized by the Dutch neuroanatomist Jan Voogd. These studies described a highly organized topographical pattern in these connections that had only been generally alluded to in earlier studies. With his Norwegian colleague Espen Dietrichs, Dr. Haines published a series of papers, again using a variety of mammalian species, detailing the interconnections between the hypothalamus and the cerebellar cortex and nuclei. Using anterograde and retrograde tracers, these studies described extensive con-
nections between several hyothalamic nuclei/areas and cerebellar structures and suggested possible circuits through which the cerebellum may regulate visceral motor activity. Dr. Haines also has published on spinal cord anatomy, the thalamus, anatomy of the vestibular and olivary complexes, corticospinal, spinovestibular, and olivocerebellar connections, and the subdural space. In addition to his neuroanatomical studies, Dr. Haines has published on the gross anatomy, histology, behavior, husbandry, and pathology of the prosimian primate Galago senegalensis. His research efforts were supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Haines has published 120 papers in well-known and highly regarded scientific journals, 83 abstracts resulting from presentations at national and international scientific meetings, 70 book chapters, and 12 books. His publications have appeared in journals including Journal of Comparative Neurology, Brain Behavior and Evolution, Brain Research, Journal of Human Evolution, Experimental Neurology, Neurosciences Letters, Experimental Brain Research, Journal of Neurosurgery, Anatomical Record, New Anatomist, Anatomy and Embryology, Neurosurgery, and Journal of the History of Neurosciences. Dr. Haines is editor of the textbook Fundamental Neuroscience for Basic and Clinical Application (third edition), coauthor of many of its chapters, and he is author of the atlas entitled Neuroanatomy: An Atlas of Structures, Sections and Systems that is currently going into its seventh edition. Dr. Haines has also received a number of special recognitions and honors. He has received recognition for excellence in teaching at each of the three medical centers in which he has served as a faculty member. He was

elected a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, served as founding secretary (1995–2000) and later as president (2001–2002) of the International Society for History of Neuroscience, has been invited to serve as an outside examiner at the University of Oslo, and served on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Neural Prosthesis Program Evaluation Committee of the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Haines’s service to his home institutions has been exemplary over the years. He has served on numerous committees at the department and medical school/medical center levels during his time at the Medical College of Virginia, while at West Virginia University, and since taking his position at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The range of the committees on which he has served includes curriculum, executive faculty, biomedical research, search committees for basic science and clinical chairs, school of medicine promotion and tenure, LCME and SACS subcommittee, and the graduate council. Over the years, Dr. Haines’s instructional efforts have focused on neuroanatomy/neurobiology. He has taught medical neuroanatomy/neurobiology, dental neuroanatomy, physical therapy neuroanatomy, and over the past number of years has been extensively involved in teaching systems neurobiology to residents in the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery at UMMC in preparation for their specialty board examinations. Dr. Haines’s standing in the ana-

tomical community and service to the AAA is illustrated in a number of ways. He served 8 years as the secretary-treasurer of the AAA (1996 –2004) and is currently the Alpha Helix (official historian) of the Cajal Club (1985 to present). While secretary-treasurer, Dr. Haines played a critical role in negotiating very favorable financial terms during journal contract negotiations that have resulted in significant income for the association in recent years. Within the AAA, Dr. Haines has served on the Anatomical Nomenclature Committee beginning in 1990, became chairman of the committee 1997, and continues to serve in this capacity. He was also an associate editor of the Anatomical Record from 1985 to 1998 and was the founding chairman of the editorial advisory board of the New Anatomist when it was first published in 1998. During his tenure with the New Anatomist (1998 – 2005), he contributed significantly to managing the overall editorial scope of the journal and solicited a large number of high-quality articles from top scientists. He authored/coauthored over 40 papers for the journal, including feature articles, editorials, announcements, and short news items. All told, Dr. Haines has contributed 20 years of editorial service to the association’s journals. In addition to his AAA-related editorial responsibilities, Dr. Haines served as an associate editor of the Journal of Medical Primatology (1977– 1995), is on the editorial boards of Metabolic Brain Disease (1992 to present), the Journal of the History of the Neurosciences (1995 to present),
and Cerebellum (2002 to present; currently associate editor) and has been the neuroanatomy consultant for Stedman’s Medical Dictionary for editions 26, 27, and 28 (1995 to present). Recently, Dr. Haines became the American editor for the series of Advances in Anatomy Embryology and Cell Biology and has joined the editorial board of Experimental Biology and Medicine. At the international level, Dr. Haines is a member of the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology (1994 to present) and was elected to the second of two 5-year terms (1999 –2009) as treasurer of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) at its Kyoto meeting. Over the years, he has served as an outside reviewer for journals such as International Journal of Primatology, Brain Behavior and Evolution, Journal of Comparative Neurology, Science, Physiology and Behavior, Cell and Tissue Research, Brain Research Bulletin, Brain Research Reviews, and Anatomy and Embryology. The AAA recognizes Dr. Duane E. Haines for his many years of dedicated service to the field of anatomy and to our association. The AAA is pleased to honor Dr. Haines as the 2006 recipient of the A.J. Ladman AAA/Wiley Exemplary Service Award. Robert S. McCuskey Past President American Association of Anatomists E-mail:
