David A. Prince

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Allan Prince (born July 14, 1932 in Newark , New Jersey ) is an American neurologist and both clinical and experimental epileptologist .

Life

After studying psychology at the University of Vermont in Burlington until 1953, Prince studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia until 1956. From 1957 to 1962 - with interruption due to military service 1958–1960 - he completed his specialist training at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.

Prince has been with Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, California, since 1962 . From 1962 to 1963 he had a Special Fellowship in Neurophysiology from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). From 1963 to 1968 he was Assistant Professor, from 1968 to 1970 Associate Professor of Medicine (Neurology), from 1970 to 1971 Acting Chairman and from 1971 to 1989 Chairman and Professor of Neurology and Neurological Sciences.

Prince was u. a. from 1973 to 1974 president of the American Epilepsy Society (AES).

plant

Prince's scientific focus was and is the study of the normal and abnormal regulation of excitability in neurons of the cerebral cortex and thalamus of mammals and the mechanisms underlying the development and prophylaxis of epilepsy in animal models. Long-term goals are to understand how cortical injuries and other pathological processes induce changes in the structure and function of neurons and neural networks that lead to hyperexcitability and epileptogenesis.

Prince is (co-) author of numerous articles in specialist journals and book chapters, including (as of October 2017) 231 Pubmed-listed articles.

Awards

Prince received numerous awards and honors, including a .:

  • 1978 AES Lennox Award
  • 1987 Honorary membership of the German Section of the ILAE (since 2004: German Society for Epileptology )
  • 1991 Research Award of the AES and Milken Family Foundation
