Szentágothai, János (John) (Budapest, 31 October 1912 - Budapest, 8 September 1994) – Physician, cerebral specialist. He was a descendant of a family of physicians: his father and his five brothers all chose the medical profession. Among his ancestors were men like Sándor (Alexander) Lumniczer, Ágoston (Austin) Schöpf-Mérei and Géza Antal. From the age of 17, he dealt with microscopic studies. In 1936 he received his Medical Degree from the University of Budapest; then worked as a demonstrator at the Anatomical Institute of Mihály (Michael) Lenhossék. Later, it was here that he started his medical and research career. In 1946, he was invited to become Head of the Anatomy Institute at the Medical Faculty of the University of Pécs, where he also worked as Professor of Medicine until 1963. In that year, he became Professor of Anatomy at the University of Budapest. He resigned from this position, but carried on with his research work until his death. He became a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (corresponding 1948, ordinary 1967), where he was also President in 1977. He was a Member of Parliament between 1985 and 1994. First and foremost a research scientist, Szentágothai mainly studied the structure of the nervous system. The results of his first independent investigations supported the neuron theory: the concept that the morphologically and functionally interconnected nervecells and neurons constitute the whole nervous system. His experimental techniques enabled him to follow and describe a number of nerve tracks of spinal marrow (myelon) and the brain stem. He was the discoverer and explainer of a number of ontogenetic studies. He wrote monographs during his sojourn in Pécs on the research results of the connections between the vestibular system and the ocular muscles (1952) and on the mechanism regulating the neuro-endocrine glands. He was awarded the Kossuth Prize, which was followed by numerous foreign acknowledgements of his medical results. Later in his research studies, the connections between neurons became central, in his investigation of the spinal marrow as well as the cerebellum. This was followed by his study of the cerebral cortex, which he conceived of as being made up of modules. He was an outstanding trainer and teacher. His outstanding work was: Atlas of Human Anatomy vols. i. ii, iii (Az ember anatómiájának atlasza I, II, III) (1946), co-authored with Ferenc (Francis) Kiss, which reached eight translations; then he wrote the textbook Functional Anatomy, vols. i, ii, iii (1972). He was well-known as a politician of science, a nature-protectionist, a true Homo universalis. He became honorary member of several societies in Hungary, and Academies abroad.

After World War I, he moved to Ószivác (then in the newly created Yugoslavia) and he opened a medical practice there. His home became the center of Yugoslav-Hungarian literary life. He founded journals, serial publications, and also developed contact with Hungarian writers in the newly created Czechoslovakia, as well as in Transylvania, ceded to Romania by the 1920 Peace Treaty of Trianon. In 1928, he launched the journal, Writing From Voivodina (Vajdasági Írás), and in 1932 the Kalangya, which he edited with Tibor Radó until the end of his life. As an offshoot of this, he established the Kalangya Library. In 1928, to serve a better understanding between Magyars and Serbs, he published an anthology of Serbian poetry in Hungarian translation. In 1933, he compiled, under the title Acacias (Akácok), a collection of short stories by Yugoslav-Hungarian writers. His works include Grieving Love (Kesergő szerelem) (1920); How Painful is Life (Úgy fáj az élet) sketches, short stories (1925), and Isola Bella, novel (1931). – B: 0883, 1257, T: 7456. Szentendre (German: Sankt Andrä, Serbian: Sentandreja) – Town on the right bank of the Danube, 15 km north of Budapest, 124 m above sea level, at the foot of the Pilis Range; with attractive geographic location and Danube baths. The town’s natural lookout is Castle Hill (Várdomb) above the Main Square. Its more important industries include cement and stove factory, brickyard, railway repair workshop, electricity station, and large stone quarries. It had 4822 inhabitants in 1901; 7214 in 1930 (mostly Magyars, 560 Germans and 400 Serbs); 9644 in 1941, and 18,000 in 1983. Noteworthy buildings include the Roman watchtower and the museum rich in Roman finds. Its artist colony was founded in 1926, led by Béla Iványi-Grünwald. The Charles Ferenczy Museum is in the town. There is the Serbian Episcopal Church, several Greek Orthodox churches with fine frescoes and iconostases; it is the seat of a Greek Orthodox Bishop for the Serbs, who settled there in the 15th and 16th centuries. On the site of the ruins of the villa rustica there is the Open Air Ethnographic Museum in the outskirts of the town, where stone walls of Roman times are intermixed with Hungarian peasant houses, bridging a time gap of 1500 years, intended to exhibit Hungarian folk architecture and dwelling culture. The House of Folk Arts, as a Museum, usually presents a certain branch or aspect of folk art. The Teatrum of Szentendre gives open-air theatrical performances in the summer. The Vastagh House (1973) presents the work of sculptor-ceramist, Margit Kovács in the building of the one-time mail-coach station (now a popular museum). In Roman times, the town was a fortified camp, defending the border limes, called Ulcisia Trajana, also called Ulcisia Castra (Wolf Castle), a famous Avar gravesite from the 7th century, containing two iron stirrups. The first written mention is dated 1146 from the estate of the Bishop of Veszprém. During the Ottoman Turkish occupation, the town suffered a lot; by 1588 it had only 6 households. In 1590, Serbs settled there, who were clever tradesmen and businessmen. They also fought in the Austrian Imperial Army against Prince Ferenc Rákóczi’s men. In 1757, the town became a crown estate. Empress Maria Theresa leased it to the inhabitants of the town for an annual 6000 forints. In 1872, it became a corporate town. The old Serbian settlers became absorbed into the Hungarian population. Szentendre is known for its fine Baroque-style gates. The wine-growing peasants formed a guild and, in the 18th century, set up an iron double-cross, which was supposed to defend their crop from frost and hail. There is a bronze statue in a sitting position on a seat of the painter Béla Czóbel (1977), the work of Imre (Emeric) Varga. Czóbel was awarded the Kossuth Prize and, in 1974, he was among the first to be made an honorary freeman of the town, at the age of 91. The Czóbel House, in which he used to live, was opened to the public in 1975. – B: 1068, 1582, 1816, 7456; T: 7456.→Iványi-Grünwald, Béla, Ferenczy, Károly, Czóbel Béla. Szentendre Artist Colony (Szentendrei művésztelep, Szentendrei iskola) – Founded by the Painters’ Society of Szentendre in 1929. Its members, besides keeping the traditions of the Nagybánya colony, followed also the reviving neo-classicistic style. Lajos Vajda and Dezső Korniss may be regarded as its foundation members. The painters connected with Szentendre and Szigetmonostor obtained their motives from the traditions of the inhabitants living in this region, while among the modern styles mainly surrealism and non-figurative art were followed. Those artists who did their creative work here include Imre (Emeric) Ámos, Endre (Andrew) Bálint and János (John) Tornyai, all painting at Szentendre as well. The constructive trend was followed by István (Stephen) Ilosvai Varga, Béla Czóbel, Jenő (Eugene) Barcsay, János (John) Kmetty and Jenő (Eugene) Kerényi. The artists have been organizing collective exhibitions in in Budapest and the Ferenczy Museum in Szentendre. After the Dictated Peace Treaty of Trianon (1920) gradually the Szentendre School took over the role of the Nagybánya Colony. – B: 1031, T: 7456.→Nagybánya Artist Colony; Kecskemét Artist Colony; Vajda, Lajos; Korniss Dezső; Ámos, Imre; Bálint, Endre; Tornyay, János; Ilosvai Varga, István; Czóbel, Béla; Barcsay, Jenő; Kerényi, Jenő; Kmetty, János. Szentgotthárd Abbey – A Cistercian Abbey founded by King Béla III (1172-1196) at the Rivers Rába and Lapincs; the members of the Order were invited from France. The Abbey was dedicated in honor of the Blessed Lady and the martyr St. Gotthard, in 1181. Since 1467, it was gradually fortified to withstand possible Turkish assault after the lost Battle of Mohács in 1526 against the Turks. Due to the reorganization of border fortresses, the members of the Order were relocated to the neighboring Monastery of Rein in Graz, Austria. In 1532, the town was almost depopulated. In 1605, in fear of the Hajdús of Bocskai, an Austrian general blew up the three-naved church. In 1677, the church was rebuilt. In 1790, the buildings of the Monastery were converted into a granary. In 1734, Emperor Károly III (Charles) (1711-1740), returned the Abbey to the Cistercians. Today, the church’s frescos and oil paintings, depicting Hungarian themes, make it one of the most beautiful in Western Hungary. Until 1950, the Cistercian monks served the parish. – B: 0945, 1020, T: 7103. Szentgotthárd, Battle of→Vasvár Peace Treaty. Szent-Györgyi, Albert (nagyrápolti) (Budapest, 16 September 1893 - Woods Hole, MA, USA, 22 October 1986) – Physician and biochemist.

In the course of his research a  t Cambridge, he succeeded in isolating hexuronic acid and, while in Cambridge, he obtained his Doctorate in Chemistry in 1927. Following up his research results, he went to the USA for a year to engage in the manufacture of hexuronic acid.
On the encouragement of the Minister of Culture, Count Kunó Klebelsberg, Szent-Györgyi returned to Hungary in 1930 and, until 1945, he was Professor of Medical Chemistry at the University of Szeged, where he surrounded himself with outstanding co-workers. Meanwhile, as a visiting professor, he gave lectures at the Universities of Liège (Belgium) and at Harvard University, USA. For his scientific achievements the Hungarian Academy of Sciences elected him an ordinary member. For the results of his researches on the catalysis of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) from red paprika (capsicum) and fumaric acid, he received the Nobel Prize in Medicine on 28 October 1937. While studying the oxidation process in the living cells, he recognized the important role that fumaric acid plays in increasing the respiration of tissues. During the years 1940 to 1942, he and his team achieved great success in the field of muscle contraction. His discovery of the mutual effect in vitro of myosin, actin and ATP, marked the beginning of modern muscle biology: this was another great accomplishment by Szent-Györgyi. He also conducted research on the structure of albumin in the various human organs. Between 1945 and 1947 he was a professor at the University of Budapest. With the approach of Communism and the Soviet military occupation of Hungary, Szent-Györgyi emigrated to the United States in 1947, and he did not return to his homeland again. He settled at Woods Hole, where he became Director of the Sea Biology Laboratory of the Muscle Research Institute. Even at the age of 90, he was searching for the elusive cause of cancer, which took his wife, his daughter and his friend, János, John von Neumann. Besides his scientific work, he dealt with social questions as well, criticizing aspects of human life of his times, many of his discussions appearing in published form. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Paris (Sorbonne), and was a recipient of the Corvin Wreath. He was a member of numerous scientific societies in Hungary and the West. To enlarge the scientific life in his native land, he founded the Hungarian Biological Society. More than a hundred of his studies were published in Western journals. Some of his works include Studies on Biological Oxidation and Some of its Catalysts (1937); Studies on Muscle (1945); Bioelectronics. A Study on Cellular Regulation, Defense and Cancer (1968); The Crazy Ape. Written by a Biologist for the Young (1970); The Living Condition of Matter (Az anyag élő állapota) (1985, original English version: 1978) and Selected Studies (Válogatott tanulmányok) (1983).
