Joaquin Fuster wins the George A. Miller Prize in Cognitive Neuroscience

We are very hap­py that Joaquin Fuster, one of our sci­en­tif­ic advi­sors, has won the 2007 George A. Miller Prize in Cog­ni­tive Neu­ro­science.

The George A. Miller Prize in Cog­ni­tive Neu­ro­science was estab­lished in 1995 by the Cog­ni­tive Neu­ro­science Soci­ety and the James S. McDon­nell Foun­da­tion to hon­or the career con­tri­bu­tions of George A. Miller to cog­ni­tive neuroscience…The prize is award­ed to the nom­i­nee whose career is char­ac­ter­ized by dis­tin­guished and sus­tained schol­ar­ship and research at the cut­ting-edge of cog­ni­tive neu­ro­science. Extra­or­di­nary inno­va­tion and high impact on inter­na­tion­al sci­en­tif­ic think­ing should be a hall­mark of the recipient’s work.

Dr. Joaquin Fuster is Pro­fes­sor of Psy­chi­a­try and Biobe­hav­ioral Sci­ences at the Neu­ropsy­chi­atric Insti­tute and Brain Research Insti­tute of Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia at Los Ange­les’ School of Med­i­cine. Fuster’s long research career has had wide-rang­ing impli­ca­tions for our under­stand­ing of the brain mech­a­nisms of cognition.

The Neu­r­o­crit­ic dis­cuss­es Joaquin Fuster’s mod­el of cog­ni­tive orga­ni­za­tion, Paul dis­cuss­es Fuster’s work. Both are pret­ty tech­ni­cal. We will inter­view Dr. Fuster for our Neu­ro­science Inter­view Series dur­ing the sum­mer to make his excit­ing research acces­si­ble to all readers.
