Jerome Sanes is a Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University and the Director of the MRI Research Facility. His research focuses on understanding the brain mechanisms underlying voluntary movement and motor learning. He began his academic career with graduate studies at the University of Rochester and conducted post-doctoral research at the National Institute of Mental Health alongside Edward Evarts. Since joining Brown University in 1989, he has significantly contributed to the field of neuroscience, directing the Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory at the Santa Lucia Foundation in Rome from 1997 to 2000. He has served on numerous panels, reviewing grant proposals for entities such as the National Institutes of Health and the Wellcome Trust and is a member of the editorial boards for major neuroscience journals including the Journal of Neuroscience and NeuroImage. He has published over 90 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is currently investigating brain regions involved in motor control, emphasizing the roles of the frontal and parietal lobes, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. Sanes is particularly interested in how these areas engage during the learning of new motor skills and the preparation for action intentions.
