Biography

John Reynolds is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego. He has conducted extensive research focusing on cognitive decline and synaptic changes associated with aging, particularly employing marmoset models. His work as a Principal Investigator for the NIH includes investigating spatiotemporal patterns of neural activity and their role in perception, as well as studying the neural circuitry underlying response summation in multiple species. He has also been involved in developing marmoset models for neurodegenerative diseases using advanced gene-editing techniques. His research spans a variety of areas including attention, perception, and neural mechanisms, utilizing optogenetic tools to elucidate neuronal functions and interactions. Through his numerous publications, he has contributed significantly to understanding visual perception in primates and the role of attention in neural processing.
