Eric Courchesne, Ph.D.Eric Courchesne, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Neurosciences, University of California, San Diego. He is also Director of the Center for Autism Research at Children’s Hospital Research Center, San Diego, California. His Center is dedicated to uncovering the brain bases and biological causes of autism.

Current postmortem cellular and molecular as well as MRI studies aim to identify the neural defects that are abnormal in autism and to discover patterns of abnormal brain growth from infancy through adulthood. Current functional brain imaging techniques (“fMRI” and “ERPs”) are used to establish links between autistic symptoms and the brain sites responsible for them. Dr. Courchesne’s studies have resulted in over 160 publications. His research is supported through grants from the National Institutes of Health.
