Leah Krubitzer is a neuroscientist and professor at the University of California at Davis, where she also directs the Evolutionary Neurobiology Laboratory. His academic interests mainly revolve around the ways in which the complex brains of humans and mammals evolve from simpler forms, and much of his research focuses on the anatomical connections and electrophysiological characteristics of neocortex neurons. Through his research and writing, Krubitzer has done much to explain the great diversity of behavior and perceptual abilities of mammals through brain science. The philosopher and neuroscientist Nayef al-Rodhan is an honorary member of St.
He was an epilepsy surgery fellow at the Yale School of Medicine and worked on a study on neuropeptides and molecular genetics at Harvard Medical School. He has received numerous awards for his work in neurology and in the academic world, including the Sir James Spence Award, the Gibb Prize, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Award (twice) and many more. Felten is the assistant dean of Clinical Sciences and professor of Neuroscience at the UMHS. Felten is co-author of several articles and three medical texts on the relationship between neurology and immunology.
In addition to his leadership roles in the academic world, Felten is also the co-founder and co-editor of “Brain, Behavior and Immunity”. He has made a big name for himself and is one of the most respected cognitive neuroscientists. Although Koch worked 27 years as a professor of Cognitive and Behavioral Biology at the California Institute of Technology, he is now the scientific director of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle. Koch has been influential in arguing that consciousness can be addressed using the modern tools of neurobiology and, in addition to being the author of three books on the subject of consciousness, he often advocates a modern variant of panpsychism, the ancient philosophical belief that some minimal form of consciousness can be found in any biological organism.
Every month, Koch brings this knowledge to the world of scientific writing and writes a popular column in Scientific American Mind called Consciousness Redux.
