Summary
- Dr. Mark D’Esposito is a Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California, Berkeley He received his MD at SUNY Syracuse and completed a neurology residency and fellowship at Boston University. In 1993, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where he remained until his arrival to UC Berkeley in 2000. His lab investigates the role of prefrontal cortex in working memory and cognitive control utilizing different experimental approaches such as functional MRI, transcranial magnetic stimulation, pharmacological interventions and behavioral studies of healthy individuals and those with neurological disorders. Dr. D’Esposito is the former Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience and numerous awards such as the Norman Geschwind Prize in Behavioral Neurology from American Academy of Neurology and the Fred Kavli Distinguished Career Contributions Award from the Cognitive Neuroscience Society. He has trained over 80 post-doctoral fellows and graduate students and is the Principal Investigator on several NIH, private foundation and VA-funded projects. He has author over 425 research publications as well as six books on the topics of behavioral neurology and cognitive neuroscience.
