Born in 1873, Otto Loewi was a German-American physiologist who made significant contributions to our understanding of the chemical transmission of nerve impulses. Loewi's groundbreaking experiment, known as the "frog heart experiment," demonstrated the release of a chemical substance, later identified as acetylcholine, at the nerve endings.
