Leah Krubitzer

Leah Krubitzer is an American neuroscientist, Professor of Psychology at University of California, Davis,〔()〕 and head of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Neurobiology.〔()〕 Her research interests center on how complex brains in mammals (e.g., humans) evolve from simpler forms. To do this, she focuses on anatomical connections and electrophysiological characteristics of neurons in the neocortex (i.e., the part of the brain associated with perception, cognition, learning, and memory). Using comparative studies, she determines which features of the neocortex are shared by all mammals and how new features of the neocortex have evolved. This allows her to reconstruct evolutionary phylogenies of the neocortex together with their relationship to functional changes. Thus, her work aims to explain the diversity in mammalian behavioral and perceptual abilities by investigating how evolutionarily old developmental mechanisms constrain evolutionary change while also providing the variation needed for the evolution of the diversity of brains found in mammals.〔
She was a reviewer for the 2009 NIH Director's Pioneer Award.〔(NIH Director's Pioneer Award - 2009 Reviewers (Phase One) )〕
==History==
Leah Krubitzer completed her undergraduate course work, and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Pennsylvania State University. She attended Vanderbilt University where she completed graduate school. She earned a PhD in Physiological Psychology. Upon completion of her PhD, Krubitzer moved to Australia for six years to study at the University of Queensland. During her time in Australia, she studied the neurobiology of different mammals. Two animals she studied most regularly were the anteater and the duckbilled platypus. Krubitzer’s research interests include the neuroanatomical, behavioral, and electrophysiological techniques used to study the neocortex. Krubitzer has been intrigued by how the neocortex has evolved over time and the ways in which is it organized within different types of mammals.〔(LKrubitzer | CARTA )〕
