DESCRIPTION:Albert Gjedde is a Danish-Canadian neuroscientist who currently
  serves as Professor of Translational Neurobiology at the University of So
 uthern Denmark. He is Emeritus Professor of Neurobiology and Pharmacology 
 at the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen\, and cu
 rrently also Adjunct Professor of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill Uni
 versity\, and Adjunct Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science at J
 ohns Hopkins University.\n\nAs a junior investigator\, Albert Gjedde worke
 d as a visiting scientist at universities and research institutions in Lun
 d\, Cologne\, Leipzig and Dresden\, Paris\, Szeged\, and Baltimore. In 198
 6\, he joined the McConnell Brain Imaging Center at McGill University\, fi
 rst as Associate and then as Full Professor from 1986 to 1994 and Director
  of the McConnell Brain Imaging Center. In Denmark\, Albert Gjedde founded
  and headed the PET Center at Aarhus University Hospitals from 1994 to 200
 8\, and in Aarhus he also founded the Center of Functionally Integrative N
 euroscience (CFIN) in 2001 and the Danish Neuroscience Center in 2008.\n\n
 Albert Gjedde’s research focuses on the relations between neuroplasticity 
 and neurotransmission that can be revealed by mapping radio ligand binding
  and metabolism of the living brain. The investigations explore the relati
 ons among energy metabolism and neurotransmission\, by recording changes u
 nder pharmacological and cognitive manipulations. He uses PET to understan
 d the synthesis and release of neurotransmitter molecules and the behavior
  of these transmitters under different functional conditions of the brain\
 , normal as well as pathological\, and the spatial and temporal relations 
 among changes of cerebral blood flow\, which is a common measure of brain 
 work\, and the cerebral oxygen consumption rate\, which is the more precis
 e measure of this work. Albert Gjedde collaborates on studies that explore
  the lesions and degeneration of brain tissue in disorders such as epileps
 y\, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's diseases\, stroke\, depression\, and somat
 izing disorders\, as well as disorders of addiction\, testing hypotheses t
 hat seek to explain the restructuring of neuronal networks after processin
 g of sensory activity by healthy subjects and by volunteers suffering from
  inborn or acquired lesions.\n\nAll are welcome.\n
