Anthony Zador

Anthony M. Zador (born February 21, 1964) is an American neuroscientist and the Alle Davis Harris Professor of Biology and Chair of Neuroscience at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. He is the director of the Center for the Neural Mechanisms of Cognition and Sloan-Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience at CSHL. He is a co-founder of the Computational and Systems Neuroscience (COSYNE) conference. Dr. Zador's research has focused on understanding the circuits of the auditory cortex in rodents. More recently, he proposed a new approach to connectome mapping using the methods of molecular biology, which may dramatically decrease the cost and improve the speed of mapping neuronal circuits at the single cell level.
