Wellcome Principal Research Fellow, Professor of Neuroscience University of Cambridge
Wolfram Schultz is a Professor of Neuroscience and Wellcome Principal Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. His interests include behavioral analysis, electrophysiological recording techniques, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He is working to relate the mechanics of brain activity to measurable behavior. He combines neurophysiological, imaging and behavioral techniques to investigate the neural correlates of goal–directed behavior. During his career Prof. Schultz has won a number of awards, among them the 1984 Ellermann Prize of the Swiss Societies for Neurology, Neurosurgery and Neuropathology, the 1997 Theodore–Ott Prize of the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences, the 2002 Golden Brain Award of the Minerva Foundation (USA), and the Ipsen Prize 2005 for Neuronal Plasticity. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society, as well as a Receiving Editor for the European Journal of Neuroscience (1998–2003). He also serves on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Neurophysiology and is an Associate Editor of the Proceedings of the Royal Society. Dr. Schultz received degrees in medicine and physiology from the Universities of Heidelberg, Germany, and Fribourg, Switzerland.
