Bryan Kolb

Bryan Kolb Bryan Kolb received his Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University and con-ducted postdoctoral work at the University of Western Ontario and the Montreal Neurological Institute. In 1976, he moved to the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, where he is a professor of neuroscience. His current research examines how pre-conception and perinatal factors — including tactile stimulation, psychoactive drugs, stress, noise, and injury — modify the developing cerebral cortex and how these changes are related to behavior. Kolb is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada; the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA); the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS); the American Psychological Associa-tion; and the Association of Psychological Science. Currently a fellow of the Child Brain Development program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, he is a recipient of the Hebb Prize from the CPA and CSBBCS. He has received honor-ary doctorates from the University of British Columbia, Thompson Rivers Univer-sity, Concordia University, and the University of Lethbridge. He is a recipient of the Ingrid Speaker Gold Medal for research, the distinguished teaching medal from the University of Lethbridge, and the Key to the City of Lethbridge. In 2017, he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada. He and his wife train and show horses in Western riding performance events.

Ian Q. Whishaw

Ian Q. Whishaw received his Ph.D. from Western University and is a professor of neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge. He has held visiting appointments at the University of Texas, the University of Michigan, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Strasbourg. He is a fellow of Clair Hall, Cambridge, the Canadian Psychological Association, the American Psychological Association, and the Royal Society of Canada. He is a recipient of the Canadian Humane Society Bronze Medal for bravery, the Ingrid Speaker Gold Medal for research, the dis-tinguished teaching medal from the University of Lethbridge, and the Donald O. Hebb Prize. He has received the Key to the City of Lethbridge and has honorary doctorates from the University of British Columbia, Thompson Rivers University, and the University of Lethbridge. His research addresses the evolution and neural basis of skilled movement and the neural basis of brain disease. The Institute for Sci-entific Information includes him in its list of most-cited neuroscientists. His hobby is training and showing horses for Western performance events.

G. Campbell Teskey

G. Campbell Teskey received his Ph.D. from Western University in 1990 and then conducted postdoctoral work at McMaster University. He relocated to the University of Calgary in 1992, where he is a professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy and the Hotchkiss Brain Institute.  His current research program examines the development, organization and plasticity of the motor cortex as well as how seizures alter brain function. Teskey has won numerous teaching awards, developed new courses and co-created the Bachelors of Science in Neuroscience program at his home University. He currently serves as Education Director for the Hotchkiss Brain Institute and Chairs the Education Committee of Campus Alberta Neuroscience. His hobbies include hiking, biking, kayaking, and skiing.
