Marge Livingstone

Marge Livingstone, Ph.D., is the Takeda Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. Her research focuses on understanding how neurons in high-level visual areas of the primate brain develop selectivity for complex objects encountered during development. She employs methods such as single-unit electrophysiology, functional MRI, behavioral analysis, and computational modeling to explore neural circuitry and functional organization.

Her work bridges neurobiology and cognitive science, examining both the developmental origins of visual recognition systems and their functional implications in primates. The Takeda Professorship highlights her distinguished contributions to the field.
