William J. Moody is a Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington, specializing in the study of spontaneous electrical activity in developing brains. His research focuses on the mechanisms of brain activity, particularly in the mammalian central nervous system. Moody's lab investigates the generation and propagation of waves of electrical activity, identifying specific pacemaker neurons using techniques such as calcium imaging, patch clamp, and immunocytochemistry. His findings have significant implications for understanding early brain development, particularly in the context of GABAergic neurons transitioning to glutamatergic neuron populations at critical stages of development. Moody holds a B.S. in Molecular Biology from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Stanford University, with postdoctoral work at UCLA and the University of Bristol.
