Interviews with Dana Alliance Members and Other Eminent Neuroscientists Available on Society for Neuroscience Web site

Pioneers in brain research have made significant advances in the field of neuroscience that have shown the potential for conquering devastating diseases and disorders of the brain that afflict many millions of people worldwide.

A collection of video interviews with many of these distinguished neuroscientists from the Society for Neuroscience’s (SfN) History of Neuroscience in Autobiographical Video series is available online. The SfN also offers a five-volume book series of autobiographical chapters on pioneers in neuroscience.

…Neuroscience is quintessentially interdisciplinary, and careers in neuroscience come from several different cultures including biology, psychology, and medicine. Accounts of scientific lives in neuroscience hold the promise of being informative, interesting, and they could be a source of inspiration to students. Moreover, personal narratives provide for scientists and nonscientists alike an insight into the nature of scientific work that is simply not available in ordinary scientific writing…  Larry R. Squire, Ph.D., creator, director, and editor of The History of Neuroscience in Autobiography series
