معرفی
Richard Burkett Dewell, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX. His research focuses on the neural mechanisms underlying escape behavior, integrating experimental and computational approaches.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Neurobiology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA (2009)
- B.A. in Cognitive Neuroscience, Washington University, St. Louis, MO (2002)
His primary research interest lies in the neuroethology of escape behavior, combining electrophysiological recordings, behavioral assays, and computational modeling to understand how neural circuits generate rapid defensive responses. His work bridges systems neuroscience and animal behavior, with implications for survival circuitry and sensorimotor integration.
Dr. Dewell is a member of the International Society of Neuroethology (since 2007) and the Society for Neuroscience (since 2005), reflecting his engagement with the broader neuroscience community.
He maintains an active research laboratory at the BCM-Smith Medical Research Building, Room BCMS-S557, where he investigates the neural basis of behavior using integrative methods. No recent publications or advising roles are listed in the current profile.
