Biography

Craig Bailey is an Associate Professor at the Ontario Veterinary College within the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Guelph. His research focuses on normal and aberrant brain development with the long-term goal of identifying novel therapeutic strategies to mitigate the impacts of specific developmental brain disorders. Current research emphasizes the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which are critical regions involved in higher-order cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and attention. Dr. Bailey employs an integrative experimental approach, utilizing modern molecular, electrophysiological, and behavioral techniques to identify the mechanisms underlying the development and function of the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, particularly in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He has published extensively in reputable journals, contributing significant insights into developmental brain disorders and the effects of substance exposure on brain morphology and function.
