Mark Moss, PhDProfessor & Chair, Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology Phone: 617.638.4200 Fax: 617.638.4216 Email: markmoss@bu.edu Location: R - 1004, Boston University School of Medicine BackgroundDr. Moss received his master’s and doctorate in Psychology from Northeastern University and completed postdoctoral training at Beth Israel Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Neuroanatomy and Neuropsychology. He is the co-director for the Laboratory for Cognitive Neurobiology at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) where his studies focus on the neurobiology of learning and memory in non-human primate models, particularly with respect to aging and age-related disease. At BUSM, Dr. Moss also co-directs graduate courses in the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, Neurobiology of Aging, and Cognitive Neuroscience, in addition to directing a NIH Training Grant on the Neurobiology and Neuropsychology of Aging. Research InterestsDr. Moss’s specific interests include (1) the interaction of the prefrontal cortices with the medial temporal lobe limbic system in cognition; (2) the separate and combined effects of age and hypertension on cognition and integrity of the blood-brain barrier in a non-human primate model of hypertensive cerebrovascular disease; and (3) parallel studies in normal aged humans and patients with MCI and Alzheimer's disease. ADC RoleDr. Moss is a senior investigator within the Clinical Core of the Center and is a member of its Executive Committee. He also serves as a clinical neuropsychologist within the Center’s memory assessment clinics. Awards/MembershipsDr. Moss is a recipient of an NIH MERIT award for his work on aging and hypertension. He is also the recipient of the 2003 Stanley L. Robbins Award and the 2004 Thomas Robitscher Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dr. Moss is a member of the Academy of Advisors and is academic advisor for the Clinical Neuroscience Society at the BUSM.
