}}Vivien Casagrande (June 7, 1942 - January 21, 2017) was a professor in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.[1]LifeCasagrande received her PhD from Duke University in 1973 in physiological psychology under the direction of Irving T. Diamond. In addition to being a professor, Casagrande was also a Senior Fellow and Investigator for the John F. Kennedy Center for Research on Human Development. Casagrande was awarded the Charles Judson Herrick Award (1981) from the American Association of Anatomists and was elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (2006).[2] She was also on the editorial board for the Journal of Comparative Neurology and Visual Neuroscience. Casagrande's research focused on understanding how the visual thalamus and cortex interact to construct our perceptual world. She did this through three different projects. Her first project was to analyze the notion that the primary sensor information received by the visual cortex from the visual thalamus is not purely visual, but rather visual information. The second project was to test whether all thalamic nuclei contain some cell groups that act as drivers and some that act as modulators for multiple cortical areas. The third project was to study communication between cells in separate areas of the visual cortex and how visual messages are coded and transmitted from lower to higher visual areas and what the role of feedback is.[1] Selected publications - Khaytin, I, Xin Chen, D.W.
