Graham Collingridge

Graham Leon Collingridge CBE FRS (born 1 February 1955) is a British neuroscientist[1] and professor at the University of Toronto and at the University of Bristol.[2][3] He is also a senior investigator at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.

Collingridge's research focuses on the mechanisms of synaptic plasticity in health and disease, in particular, understanding synaptic plasticity in molecular terms and how pathological alterations in these processes may lead to major brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. He was with Professors Tim Bliss and Richard Morris as the first UK scientists to share the Brain Prize.[citation needed]
