- Georg F. Striedter
Georg F. Striedter is an Associate Professor in the department of Neurobiology and Behavior and the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the
University of California, Irvine . He is the author of more than 30 papers inevolutionary neuroscience and the author of the book "Principles of Brain Evolution". Striedter obtained his PhD inneuroscience from theUniversity of California, San Diego , under the supervision ofGlenn Northcutt in 1990. He then pursued postdoctoral research at CalTech withMark Konishi .His research focuses on the organization and evolution of neuronal circuits in teleost fishes, the evolution of neuronal circuits for
bird song learning inparrots andsongbirds and how evolution modifies the processes of brain development to generate a broad diversity of adultbrain s.Awards
Striedter received the C. J. Herrick Award in 1998 for his contributions to comparative neuroanatomy. His book, "Principles of Brain Evolution" has been positively received by his academic colleagues (see the commentaries to his Precis of "The Principles of Brain Evolution" in "Behavioral and Brain Sciences").
