György Buzsáki

György Buzsáki (born November 24, 1949, Kaposvár, Hungary) is the Biggs Professor of Neuroscience at New York University School of Medicine.[1] Dr. Buzsáki has made major contributions to the understanding of neuronal oscillations focusing on their relationships to each other, to behavior and to neuronal action potential generation and information coding in the brain.

He is the author of Rhythms of the Brain, a book detailing the current neuroscientific understanding of brain rhythms, and of more than 300 peer reviewed papers. He is distinguished as a "highly cited researcher" by Thomson Reuters.[2]

He was the winner of the inaugural Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Prize in 2011 [3] together with Tamas Freund and Peter Somogyi for their work describing organization of neurons in the hippocampus and the cortex. Also in 2011 he was awarded a Senior Fellowship of the Zukunftskolleg at the University of Konstanz.[4]
