Michael D. Fox is an American neurologist and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts where he holds the Raymond D. Adams Distinguished Chair in Neurology[1] and directs the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics[2][3] at Brigham and Women's Hospital. His research has focused on resting state brain fMRI which uses spontaneous fluctuations in blood oxygenation to map brain networks[4][5] including the default mode network.[6] He developed the technique lesion network mapping[7][8] to study the connectivity patterns of brain lesions to help understand the neuroanatomy of a diverse range of processes including addiction,[9] criminality,[10] blindsight,[11] free will[12] and religiosity.[13] Michael D. Fox has been considered among the "World's Most Influential Scientific Minds" by Thomson Reuters since 2014.[14][15][16]
