Biography

Donald Crammond, PhD, joined the Center for Clinical Neurophysiology as a staff neurophysiologist in November 1998.

Dr. Crammond received his undergraduate education in physiology at the University of Glasgow in Scotland and his graduate education in neurophysiology at the University of Toronto. After postdoctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin and at the Université de Montréal, he was appointed visiting associate scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, MD.

Dr. Crammond specializes in behavioral and systems-level neurophysiology, examining the neuronal substrates of visuomotor and higher cognitive processes in the cerebral cortex and the mechanisms underlying motor learning and movement disorders. Dr. Crammond is the associate director for microelectrode recording for the Movement Disorder Surgery Program at UPMC.

Dr. Crammond's publications can be reviewed through the National Library of Medicine's publication database.
