W. Martin Usrey is editor of sensory systems for the Oxford
Research Encyclopedia of Neuroscience. He is Professor and Chair of
Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior and Professor of Neurology at
UC Davis. His research is focused on understanding the functional
properties of neural circuits that serve vision and the
relationship between circuit activity, behavior, and perception. He
has authored over 70 publications and directed several
international courses and conferences on sensory processing and
thalamocortical relations. He is the recipient of numerous awards,
including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and
Engineers. The Usrey laboratory
is home to Brainmaps.org, an interactive, high-resolution digital
brain atlas and virtual microscope for students, educators, and
researchers.
S. Murray Sherman is Maurice Goldblatt Professor and Chairman in
the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Chicago. His
books include Functional Connections of Cortical Areas and
Exploring the Thalamus and its Role in Cortical Function. Dr.
Sherman is the author of more than 150 scientific papers, has
served on the committees of several scientific organizations, and
on the editorial boards of multiple journals, including Journal
of
Neuroscience, Visual Neurosciences, and Thalamus and Related
Systems. He has held visiting academic positions at universities in
the UK and China. The main focus of Dr. Sherman's research is
directed towards understanding thalamic functional organization
through a variety of interdisciplinary techniques. He is the
Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of
Neuroscience.
