Her work, which focuses on the development of the mammalian visual system, has relevance not only for treating disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, but also for understanding how the nervous and immune systems interact. Shatz graduated from Radcliffe College in 1969 with a B.A. in Chemistry. She was honored with a Marshall Scholarship to study at University College London, where she received an M.Phil. in Physiology in 1971. In 1976, she received a Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Harvard Medical School, where she studied with Nobel Laureates David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel. During this period, she was appointed as a Harvard Junior Fellow. From 1976 to 1978 she obtained postdoctoral training with Pasko Rakic in the Department of Neuroscience, Harvard Medical School. In 1978, Shatz moved to Stanford University, where she attained the rank of Professor of Neurobiology in 1989. In 1992, she moved her laboratory to the University of California, Berkeley, where she was Professor of Neurobiology and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. From 2000-2007 she was Chair of the Department of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School and the Nathan Marsh Pusey Professor of Neurobiology. She has received many awards including the Gill Prize in Neuroscience in 2006. In 1992, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in 1995 to the National Academy of Sciences, in 1997 to the American Philosophical Society, in 1999 to the Institute of Medicine, and in 2011 she was elected as a Foreign Member of the Royal Society of London. She was awarded the Gerard Prize in Neuroscience from the 40,000 member Society for Neuroscience, and in 2015, the Gruber Prize in Neuroscience. In 2016, she was the recipient of the Champalimaud Vision Prize, and the Kavli Prize in Neuroscience for the discovery of mechanisms that allow experience and neural activity to remodel brain circuits. In 2018 she received the Harvey Prize in Science and Technology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Synapses Lost and Found: Developmental Critical Periods and Alzheimer\u2019s Disease\u0022 - Carla Shatz, Ph.D., Stanford University\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Synapses Lost and Found: Developmental Critical Periods and Alzheimer\u2019s Disease\u0022 - Carla Shatz, Ph.D., Stanford University "}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2023-08-01 15:59:28","changed_gmt":"2023-09-25 12:20:10","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-09-25T11:15:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-09-25T12:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-09-25T12:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-09-25 15:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-09-25 16:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-09-25 16:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building, Suddath Seminar Room 1128, 315 Ferst Dr. NW, Atlanta, GA 30332","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
