Overview

Gregg H. Recanzone is affiliated with the University of California, Davis in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, specifically within the subfields of cognitive neuroscience, sensory systems, artificial intelligence, social psychology, and biomedical engineering. The main topics addressed in their work include neural dynamics and brain function, hearing loss and rehabilitation, neuroscience and music perception, hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, genetics, neural networks and applications, motor control and adaptation, and action observation and synchronization.

They have contributed scholarly articles to prominent venues including the Journal of Neurophysiology, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), and The Journal of Physiology. Some recent publications include:

  • Functional characterization of the fronto-parietal reaching and grasping network: reversible deactivation of M1 and areas 2, 5, and 7b in awake behaving monkeys, 2022, Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Age-related changes in sound onset and offset intensity coding in auditory cortical fields A1 and CL of rhesus macaques, 2020, Journal of Neurophysiology
  • Decoding of frequency-modulated sweeps by core and belt neurons in the alert macaque auditory cortex, 2025, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Neural Onset and Offset Responses in Core and Belt Auditory Cortex of Young and Aged Alert Macaque Monkeys, 2025, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Decoding of frequency-modulated sweeps by core and belt neurons in the alert macaque auditory cortex, 2025, Journal of Neurophysiology

Frequent collaborators include Brian J. Malone, Adam B. Goldring, Dylan F. Cooke, Carlos R. Pineda, and Leah Krubitzer. This suggests active interdisciplinary and team-based research engagements.

Recognized in the scientific community, they received the Fellow of Alfred P. Sloan Foundation award in 1996.
