Fernando Nottebohm (born 1940 in Buenos Aires) is a neuroscientist and the Dorothea L. Leonhardt Professor at Rockefeller University, as well as being head of the Laboratory of Animal Behavior and director of the Field Research Center for Ecology and Ethology.[2][3][4][5]

Education

Nottebohm was born in Argentina and received his PhD in zoology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1966 while working with Peter Marler.[1] Afterwards, he conducted extensive investigations of the song of the rufous-collared sparrow (Zonotrichia capensis).

Research

Nottebohm is best known for his work on neurogenesis in the adult vertebrate brain,[6] a phenomenon that previously had been thought impossible by most scientists.
