Advisory Board and Editors Neuroscience
Beth Jefferies
Beth is a Professor of Psychology at the University of York, UK. Her research seeks to understand the neural basis of semantic cognition and language, and disorders affecting these aspects of cognition. She uses multiple neuroscientific methods, including neuropsychology, neuroimaging (MEG, fMRI) and brain stimulation to investigate how concepts are represented and flexibly retrieved.
Outstanding Doctoral Research Contributions to Psychology (2004)
Elizabeth Warrington Prize - British Neuropsychological Society (2008)
Cortex Prize - Federation of European Societies of Neuropsychology (2010)
Lydia Jimenez-Diaz
Principal investigator of several projects at international, national and regional level, and has participated in over 20 research projects as a partner. Currently co-director of two doctoral courses on the brain regions associated with memory storage and Alzheimer's disease. Research is focused on the molecular and cellular basis of synaptic plasticity processes in the Central Nervous System.
Blake W Johnson
Dr Blake W Johnson is Associate Professor of Cognitive Science and Director of Research in Hearing and Cognition at Macquarie University. Dr Johnson's research uses functional neuroimaging techniques, particularly magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate the neural bases of cognition and its disorders. His current work examines auditory and cognitive brain function in children using a novel paediatric MEG instrument customised to fit the smaller heads of preschool-aged children.

Mei-Chuan Ko
Professor in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My research interests involve behavioral neuropharmacology of pain and addiction, including 1) biological basis and pharmacotherapy for drug abuse and dependence and 2) neuropharmacological basis of therapeutics of analgesics and antipruritics.
Ziad Kronfol
Ziad Kronfol, M.D. is Professor of Psychiatry and Psychiatry Clerkship Director at Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar. He previously was Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Psychoneuroimmunology Program at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Senior Lecturer at the School of Medical Sciences (Department of Anatomy with Radiology) and member of the Centre for Brain Research at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Interested in Neuroethology, Brain Evolution, Evo-Devo and auditory systems. Former Grass Fellow and Editorial board member of Brain Behavior and Evolution. Currently serving as an Academic Editor in PLOS ONE, and Chair of the Advisory Panel of Creative Commons Aotearoa New Zealand.
Susanne E la Fleur
Associate Professor at the Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam and Visiting Professor at Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7. Our group is working on unravelling the mechanistic link between diet composition and the development of obesity and diabetes as a first step towards better understanding the pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, focussing on the role of the brain.
Renaud Lambiotte
Renaud Lambiotte is professor in the department of Mathematics of the University of Namur. He is interested in different aspects of complex systems, with a particular focus on complex networks. His recent research includes the development of algorithms to uncover information in large-scale networks, the study of empirical data in social and neuronal systems, and the mathematical modelling of human mobility and diffusion on networks.
B Duncan X Lascelles
After graduating from the veterinary program at the University of Bristol, U.K., with honors, Dr. Lascelles completed a PhD in aspects of pre-emptive/perioperative analgesia at the University of Bristol. After an internship there, he completed his surgical residency at the University of Cambridge, U.K. and then a Fellowship in Oncological Surgery at Colorado State University.
