Verner Peter Bingman

Verner Peter Bingman is a Research Professor at Bowling Green State University's Department of Psychology within the College of Arts and Sciences. Holding a Ph.D. from the State University of New York-Albany, he teaches courses in ornithology and cognitive neuroscience. His research focuses on animal navigation and hippocampal function across vertebrate species.

Research areas include:

• Spatial cognition in birds and arthropods
• Hippocampal neurobiology
• Comparative brain organization
• Environmental navigation cues

Recent publications demonstrate interdisciplinary work spanning Neuroscience, Zoology, and Cognitive Science, with a 2021 study on whip spider refuge learning and 2020 research on age-related hippocampal changes in homing pigeons. His 2015 comprehensive review of avian hippocampal formation highlights enduring contributions to navigation research.

Key collaborations include work with scientists from institutions across four continents. Lab studies involve advanced neuroimaging and behavioral tracking methodologies.
