Zachary Mainen moved to Lisbon, Portugal in 2007 and has been the Director of the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme (CNP) at the Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown in Lisbon, Portugal, since 2009.[2] He is also leader of the Systems Neuroscience Lab[3] and is the founding director of the International Doctoral Neuroscience Programme (INDP).[1] BiographyZachary Mainen studied psychology and philosophy at Yale University, received his doctorate in Neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego, and held a faculty position at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, before moving to Lisbon to found the Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme.[2][4][5] His work has been recognized by the Advanced Investigator Grant of the European Research Council[6] and the election to the European Molecular Biology Organization.[7] Mainen’s research explores brain function, especially decision-making, using theory-driven experimental approaches. His laboratory[3] helped to pioneer the use of quantitative behavioral paradigms in rodents and combines those approaches with electrophysiological, optical and genetic techniques to study neural representation and computation. He has a long-standing interest in the issue of how noise and uncertainty impact neural systems and behavior and our understanding of these processes. His lab is currently exploring these questions in the context of odor-guided perceptual decisions and learning, the timing and selection of simple actions, and the role of the neuromodulator serotonin in behavior and cortical function. This work touches on philosophical issues surrounding causality, free will, knowledge and belief.[2] He is a member of the Editorial Board for Current Biology.[8] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.neuro.fchampalimaud.org/en/education/phd-programme-indp/|title=International Doctoral Neuroscience Programme|accessdate=6 July 2014}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.neuro.fchampalimaud.org/|title=Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme] (CNP)|publisher=Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown|accessdate=6 July 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.neuro.fchampalimaud.org/en/research/investigators/research-groups/group/Mainen/|title=Systems Neuroscience Lab|publisher=Champalimaud Neuroscience Programme|accessdate=6 July 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2457&dat=19910529&id=cqlJAAAAIBAJ&sjid=NQ4NAAAAIBAJ&pg=4725,4258296|title=Yale man in demand|date=May 29, 1991|work=Bangor Daily News|accessdate=6 July 2014}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=266&dat=20080606&id=G_owAAAAIBAJ&sjid=798FAAAAIBAJ&pg=5470,6630779|title=Seeking A Place For Portugal Among World's Scientific Elite|date=6 June 2008|work=Kentucky New Era|accessdate=6 July 2014}} 6. ^European Research Council 7. ^European Molecular Biology Organization 8. ^http://www.cell.com/current-biology/editorial-board
