Barry J. Everitt: Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions
Abstract:
Presents Barry J. Everitt, 2011 winner of the American Psychological Association Award for Distinguished Scientific Contributions. "For distinguished theoretical and empirical contributions to basic research in experimental psychology and neuroscience. Barry J. Everitt's original and elegant research has greatly added to the understanding of monoaminergic and glutamatergic regulation of cortico-striatal-limbic function and its involvement in psychological processes and pathological states, notably addiction. His stellar contributions have included the development of animal models of addiction and groundbreaking studies on learning and memory processes. He has combined sophisticated behavioral approaches with molecular, cellular, anatomical, and psychopharmacological approaches in rodents. His energy and enthusiasm for research, creativity, and outstanding productivity have advanced our knowledge of brain function and inspired several generations of behavioral neuroscientists."
