American neurologist
Daniel T. Tranel (born October 20, 1957) is an American professor of
neurology at the
University of Iowa . He has been recognized as a fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science .
[1] While a graduate student at the University of Iowa, he helped establish the Iowa Neurological Patient Registry, which he currently directs.
[2]
[3] The Iowa Neurological Patient Registry includes cases of unique
brain injuries , such as
Patient S.M.
[4]
[5] and Patient E.V.R.
[6] Tranel also directs the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in
Neuroscience at the University of Iowa.
[7] He serves as
editor-in-chief of the
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology
[8] and is a contributing author to the 5th edition of Neuropsychological Assessment, a classic textbook in
neuropsychology used by most neuropsychologists.
[9]
Tranel researches brain-behavior relationships in humans. He uses the lesion method,
neuropsychological testing , and functional imaging (including
PET and
fMRI ) to study topics such as retrieval of knowledge and words, emotion, decision-making, fact-processing, nonconscious processing, memory, and psychophysiology.
[7] Tranel has authored over 600 research papers and been cited more than 80,000 times.
[10] His discoveries include determining that nouns and verbs are stored in separate parts of the brain
[11] and that patients with
prosopagnosia have physical responses to familiar faces despite lack of conscious recognition.
[12]
Tranel rejected the graduate school application of
Aurora theater gunman
James Holmes .
