Douglas G. McMahon is an American professor of Biology and Pharmacology at Vanderbilt University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Douglas G. McMahon, Ph.D. )〕 McMahon has contributed several important discoveries to the field of chronobiology and vision. As a graduate student under Gene Block, McMahon identified that the basal retinal neurons (BRNs) of the molluscan eye exhibited circadian rhythms in spike frequency and membrane potential, indicating they are the clock neurons. He became the 1986 winner of the Society for Neuroscience's Donald B. Lindsley Prize in Behavioral Neuroscience for his work. Later, he moved on to investigate visual, circadian, and serotonergic mechanisms of neuroplasticity. In addition, he helped find that constant light can desynchronize the circadian cells in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). ==Biography==
