The Society regrets to hear of the death of Professor John Morrison, Emeritus Professor of Physiology at the University of Leeds. He studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, and in 1970, completed his PhD under the supervision of Professor Mary Pickford, FRS and was appointed to a lectureship at the University of Leeds. Professor Morrison was awarded a personal chair in 1988. In 1997 moved to the United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain. His research was on single unit studies of visceral afferents and their reflexes, latterly focused on the lower urinary tract, and the application of results from neurophysiological acute experiments into the pathophysiology of spinal injures and urology.
