Biography

John C. Mazziotta is a Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, in the Department of Pharmacology. He operates within the Brain Mapping Division of the Neuropsychiatric Institute, focusing on the development of multimodality and multidimensional maps of both human and nonhuman brains. His research employs modern mathematical and computer science informatic tools to manage the vast amounts of neuroscientific information currently available. His innovative approach addresses the probabilistic nature of the questions posed in neuroscience, considering how various structural attributes differ among individuals. The outcomes of his work utilize diverse data sources, including positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, electroencephalography (EEG), post-mortem tissue analysis, and receptor binding assays. These methodologies contribute to an increasingly dynamic understanding of the cerebral functions and structures of the brain.
