Background Information
Jonathan Fritz earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Brown University in 1995. He has been an ISR assistant research scientist since 2004. He also is a research scientist in the Section on Brain and Language at the National Institue on Deafness and other Communication Disorders at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. Previously, he was a visiting scholar at the Leibniz Institute's Department of Auditory Learning and Speech in Magdeburg, Germany. He also has previously worked as a reseaerch fellow in the Neural Systems Laboratory of ISR and was a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health at the National Institutes of Health.
Dr. Fritz's research in task-related adaptive plasticity in auditory processing currently focuses on behavioral physiology studies of the ferret and monkey primary auditory cortex. He also is interested in the neurobiology of auditory perception and memory, including psychophysical studies in the ferret, perceptual and behavioral lesion studies in the monkey, PET and fMRI imaging studies of auditory processing, and a new set of physiological studies of ferret and monkey auditory prefrontal cortex.
