Jaak Panksepp. Jaak Panksepp (on the right) at the promotion of honorary doctors at the University of Tartu (December of 2004).
Jaak Panksepp (born June 5, 1943) is an Estonian-born[1] American psychologist, a psychobiologist, a neuroscientist, the Baily Endowed Chair of Animal Well-Being Science for the Department of Veterinary and Comparative Anatomy, Pharmacology, and Physiology at Washington State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, and Emeritus Professor of the Department of Psychology at Bowling Green State University.
Panksepp coined the term 'affective neuroscience',[2] the name for the field that studies the neural mechanisms of emotion. He is known in the popular press for his research on laughter in non-human animals.[3][4] Research[edit] In the 1999 documentary Why Dogs Smile and Chimpanzees Cry, he is shown to comment on the research of joy in rats: the tickling of domesticated rats made them produce a high-pitch sound which was hypothetically identified as laughter.

Tra i suoi principali interessi ci sono l’organizzazione del cervello visivo dei primati. Ha pubblicato il suo primo articolo scientifico nel 1967 e da allora ha scritto oltre 150 articoli e tre libri: A Vision of the Brain (Una visione del cervello, 1993), Inner Vision: an exploration of art and the brain (Una visione interiore; un’esplorazione di arte e cervello, 1999), tradotto in 6 lingue, e La Quête de l’essentiel, (La ricerca dell’essenziale), del quale è coautore insieme al defunto pittore francese Balthus.

She studies normal listeners throughout the lifespan, clinical populations (poor-readers; autism; hearing loss), auditory experts (musicians, bilinguals) and an animal model. In addition to being a pioneering thinker who bridges multiple disciplines (aging, development, lieteracy, music, and learning), Dr. Kraus is a technological innovator who roots her research in translational science.
Lab Affiliations. Piergiorgio Strata: Homepage. Daniel Schacter. Daniel Lawrence Schacter (born June 17, 1952 in New York) is an American psychologist.
He is a Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. His research has focused on psychological and biological aspects of human memory and amnesia, with a particular emphasis on the distinction between conscious and nonconscious forms of memory and, more recently, on brain mechanisms of memory & brain distortion. He received his B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1974, M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1977 and 1981 respectively. His Ph.D. thesis was supervised by Endel Tulving. Amazon. Carlo Semenza. Tim Shallice. Wolf Singer. Max Velmans.

Karl H. Pribram. Karl H.
Pribram (born February 25, 1919 in Vienna)[1] is a professor at Georgetown University, in the United States, and an emeritus professor of psychology and psychiatry at Stanford University and distinguished professor at Radford University.[1] Board-certified as a neurosurgeon, Pribram did pioneering work on the definition of the limbic system, the relationship of the frontal cortex to the limbic system, the sensory-specific "association" cortex of the parietal and temporal lobes, and the classical motor cortex of the human brain. He worked with Karl Lashley at the Yerkes Primate Center of which he was to become director later.
He was professor at Yale University for ten years and at Stanford University for thirty years. Holonomic model[edit] Vilayanur S. Ramachandran. Vilayanur Subramanian Ramachandran (born 1951) is a neuroscientist known primarily for his work in the fields of behavioral neurology and visual psychophysics.
He is currently a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Graduate Program in Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego. Ramachandran is also Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition affiliated with the UC San Diego Department of Psychology.[1] Ramachandran is noted for his use of experimental methods that make relatively little use of complex technologies such as neuroimaging. Despite the apparent simplicity of his approach, he has generated many new ideas about the brain.[2] Ramachandran is the author of several books that have garnered widespread public interest.
These include Phantoms In the Brain (1999) and The Tell-Tale Brain (2010). Oliver Sacks. Oliver Wolf Sacks, CBE (born 9 July 1933) is a British-American neurologist, writer, and amateur chemist who is Professor of Neurology at New York University School of Medicine.
Between 2007 and 2012, he was professor of neurology and psychiatry at Columbia University, where he also held the position of "Columbia Artist". Before that, he spent many years on the clinical faculty of Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He also holds the position of visiting professor at the United Kingdom's University of Warwick.[1] Early life[edit] Sacks was the youngest of four children born to a North London Jewish couple: Samuel Sacks, a physician (died June 1990),[3] and Muriel Elsie Landau, one of the first female surgeons in England.[4] Sacks has a large extended family, and his first cousins include Israeli statesman Abba Eban, writer and director Jonathan Lynn, and economist Robert Aumann.

LeDoux's research interests are mainly focused on the biological underpinnings of memory and emotion, especially the mechanisms of fear. LeDoux is also a singer and guitarist in the science-themed rock band The Amygdaloids.[2] Synaptic Self[edit] Published in 2002, Ledoux's Synaptic Self attempts to synthesize his research in neuroscience and on the brain in order to begin tackling the big question he feels neuroscience should be asking: "What makes us who we are?

Eric Kandel. Nicholas Humphrey. Nicholas Keynes Humphrey (born 1943) is an English psychologist, based in Cambridge, who is known for his work on the evolution of human intelligence and consciousness. His interests are wide ranging. He studied mountain gorillas with Dian Fossey in Rwanda, he was the first to demonstrate the existence of "blindsight" after brain damage in monkeys, he proposed the celebrated theory of the "social function of intellect" and he is the only scientist ever to edit the literary journal Granta.
