Dr. Indre Viskontas
Dr. Indre Viskontas has published ground-breaking work on the neural basis of memory and creativity, and has won numerous research and teaching awards.
Dr. Viskontas's work is characterized by innovation and a focus on the 'big' questions in neuroscience: how do neurons in the medial temporal lobe code memory? What memory processes lead to creative thinking? How can the paradoxical facilitation of creativity emerge from a degenerating brain, as is the case in some patients with semantic dementia? Since completing her PhD in 2006, she has published more than 25 articles and chapters, including several seminal articles in top scientific journals such as the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Neuroscience, Current Opinion in Neurology and Nature: Clinical Practice.
Her dissertation was recognized as the best of her class, and was a finalist for the New York Academy of Sciences dissertation prize. Dr. Viskontas has also been the recipient of numerous fellowships, including a 4-year Julie-Payette Research Fellowship awarded to the top 10 Canadian graduate students in Biology, the Ursula Mandel Fellowship, a UCLA dissertation fellowship, a McBean Family Foundation fellowship, the Charles and Sue Young award, and the Larry Cermak award at the Memory Disorders Meeting. She is currently affiliated with the Memory and Aging Center at UCSF, under the direction of Dr. Bruce Miller. Her ongoing collaborations include projects with internationally-acclaimed artist Deborah Aschheim, with whom she is creating art pieces and scientific research investigating the interplay between memory, creativity and the brain, as well as several studies of creativity in patients with degenerative dementias. She has been invited to speak at scientific conferences around the world, and is the Associate Editor of the journal Neurocase. She is currently the host of a new television series called Miracle Detectives which will air on the Oprah Winfrey network in 2011.
