George Paxinos, AO DSc FASSA FAA, is a Greek Australian neuroscientist. He was born in 1944 in Ithaca, Greece where he finished high school. He completed his BA in Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley and his PhD at McGill University in Montreal. After a postdoctoral year at Yale University, he moved to the School of Psychology of The University of New South Wales in Sydney. He is currently an NHMRC Senior Principal Research Fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia and Scientia Professor of Psychology and Medical Sciences at The University of New South Wales. He is a member of two learned academies in Australia and corresponding member of the Academy of Athens. He has two children, Alexi and Yvette. ==Research record== (a) Publications. 46 research books, 145 refereed journal articles, 30 book chapters and 17 CDROMs. (b) Nuclei discovered in the rat and human. He has identified 90 nuclei (areas) in the rat and human brain. (c) Homologies in mammals. Comparing rat and human, he identified 61 homologous nuclei. (d) Nuclei and homologies in birds. He identified 180 nuclei and homologies. (e) Stereotaxic spaces. He was the first to produce a reliable stereotaxic space for the brain of rats, mice, and primates, a factor fuelling the explosion in neuroscience research since the 1980s. (f) Nomenclature. He developed the first comprehensive nomenclature and ontology for the brain, covering humans, birds, and developing mammals. Impact Most scientists working on the relation between the human brain and neurologic or psychiatric diseases, or animal models of these diseases, use his maps and concepts of brain organisation. His human brain atlases are the most accurate ones for identification of deep structures and are used in surgical theatres. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Paxinos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
