Marcel Kinsbourne

Marcel Kinsbourne (born 1931)[1] is an Austrian-born pediatric neurologist and cognitive neuroscientist who was an early pioneer in the study of brain lateralization.[2][3][4]

Kinsbourne obtained his M.D. degree (styled B.M., BCh., Oxon.) in 1955 and D.M. degree in 1963 at Oxford University, where he served on the Psychology Faculty from 1964,[5] before relocating to the United States in 1967.[6] He has held Professorships in both Neurology and Psychology at Duke University and the University of Toronto, and he has headed the Behavioral Neurology Research Division at the Shriver Center in Boston, Massachusetts. He also served as Presidents of the International Neuropsychological Society and the Society for Philosophy and Psychology.[7]

Kinsbourne was the co-chair of the Department of Psychology at The New School. According to a December 2017 account in the Stanford Daily, Kinsbourne was forced to retire in 2015 after being investigated by the school's Title IX office for sexual harassment of several students and faced no repercussions.[8]

Kinsbourne has published around 400 articles in multiple areas of cognitive neuroscience, including brain-behavior relations, contralateral brain organization, consciousness, imitation, laterality among normal and abnormal populations, memory and amnestic disorders, unilateral neglect, attention and Attention Deficit Disorder, autism, learning disabilities, intellectual disability, and dyslexia.[4]
