David L. McNaughton

David L. McNaughton is a prominent American neuroscientist renowned for his pioneering research on the brain's neural circuits, particularly in understanding how the brain processes spatial information and navigation. He has contributed significantly to studying the hippocampus and related regions, which are crucial for memory and learning. His work helps explain how the brain creates mental maps and supports cognitive functions related to orientation and memory formation. McNaughton's research has advanced our understanding of neural responses and has implications for neurological conditions affecting memory, such as Alzheimer's disease.
