EspañolJAMES FALLON
'James
H. Fallon' (b. 1947 Poughkeepsie, Loudonville, New York)
received his biology and chemistry undergraduate training at Saint
Michael's College in Vermont [1] and his psychology and psychophysics degree at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. He carried out his
Ph.D. training in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology at the
University of Illinois College of Medicine, and his postdoctoral
training in chemical neuroanatomy at UC San Diego.
He is Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine where he has served as Chairman of the University faculty and Chair and President of the School of Medicine faculty. He is a
Sloan Scholar, Senior Fulbright Fellow, National Institutes of Health
Career Awardee, and recipient of a range of honorary degrees, awards,
and sits on several corporate boards and national think tanks.
Prof. Fallon has made significant scientific contributions in several
neuroscientific subjects, including discoveries of TGF alpha, epidermal growth factor, and the first to
show large-scale stimulation adult stem cells in the injured brain
using growth factors. He has also made contributions in the fields of
schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease,
and the roles of hostility and gender in nicotine and cocaine
addiction. He is also cited for his research in the basic biology
of dopamine, norepinephrine, opioid peptides in the brain, connections
of the cortex, limbic system, and basal ganglia in animals and
humans. He has published in human brain imaging using positron
emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion
tensor imaging tractography techniques, and the new field of
imaging genetics[2].
In addition to his neuroscience research, James Fallon has lectured and
written on topics ranging from art and the brain, architecture and the
brain, law and the brain, consciousness, creativity, the brain of
the psychopathic murderer, and the Vietnam
War[3].
He has appeared on numerous documentaries, radio, and TV shows. In 2007,
he has appeared on the History Channel series on science and
technology (Star Wars Tech, Spider-Man Tech), CNN, PBS, BBC, and ABC
for his work on stem cells, growth factors, psychopathology, tissue
engineering, smart prostheses, schizophrenia, and human and animal
behavior and disease.
