Dr. John C. Mazziotta, MD, PhD, Chair of the Department of Neurology at UCLA, is the 2005 AIRD Lecturer and will be the speaker at the AIRD dinner meeting on Tuesday, January 10, 2006. This meeting is part of the UCSF Department of Neurology’s Robert B. Aird Visiting Professorship that was established in 1972. The SF Neurological Society is grateful for this opportunity to join with UCSF faculty and residents for this special dinner meeting.  

Dr. Mazziotta established the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM) involving eight laboratories in seven countries with the goal of developing the first probabilistic atlas of the human brain including behavioral, demographic, imaging and genetic data from 7,000 subjects.  

A member of numerous societies and foundations, Dr. Mazziotta has maintained a strong leadership role in the American Academy of Neurology, American Neurological Association and Society of Nuclear Medicine, and is a past president of the American Society of NeuroImaging. He has won awards for his published work and is now serving as Editor-In-Chief of the journal NeuroImage.
