Stefan M. Brudzynski

Professor Stefan M. Brudzynski is a distinguished researcher in the field of neuroscience, holding a Ph.D. from Lodz University and a D.Sc. from Warsaw University. His research primarily focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying behavior, with a particular emphasis on the neural control of vocalization and locomotion—two fundamental components of overt behavior.

Dr. Brudzynski's work addresses critical questions regarding the brain structures involved in initiating and regulating these behavioral patterns. He investigates the pathways and neurotransmitters that facilitate the conveyance of information and the integration of behavioral outputs. His multidisciplinary approach encompasses a wide range of methodologies, from cellular mechanisms and anatomical organization of neural circuits to the integrative aspects of neural regulation in vertebrate behavior.

Ongoing research projects led by Dr. Brudzynski employ various techniques, including behavioral tests, bioacoustic analyses, measurements of locomotor activity, and neuropharmacological, neurophysiological, and histological methods. His work not only enhances our understanding of animal communication through ultrasonic vocalization and the vocal expression of emotionality but also explores the mechanisms governing movement initiation and patterns of locomotor activity.

Dr. Brudzynski's contributions to the field have established him as a leading figure in the study of neural control and communication, making significant strides in our comprehension of behavioral neuroscience.
