Abstract
This award recognizes excellent psychologists who are at early stages of their research careers. "For showing that the fundamental organizing principle of the primate brain, including humans, is map-based. Showing that the brain is map-based, topographically organized, and interconnected links huge swaths of otherwise unrelated findings about different parts of the brain. Most people regard the brain as divided up into distinct areas that each have their own unique function, which evolved to perform this function. Michael J. Arcaro's work instead shows that a map-based proto-organization, acted on by experience and activitydependent organizing rules, can explain how the brain might develop into apparently discrete areas with different functionalities, based on this topographic connectivity."
