Celebrating A Great Career: Jon Kaas Festschrift

Our Department and the Vanderbilt Brain Institute celebrated Jon Kaas on April 12th, with a whole day symposium of esteemed scholars, long-term friends, local colleagues, and Jon’s extended family. Speakers of the symposium highlighted the personal growth and encouragement they experienced while working with Jon. Leading his team of curious researchers, Jon identified some of the foundations of cortical organization in brains of many species, defining and discovering new cortical areas, and paving the way for a deep understanding of the evolutionary cornerstones of brain organization across species. Jon Kaas is widely recognized for his prolific and substantial contributions to science, earning him membership in the esteemed U.S. National Academy of Science and some of neuroscience’s most treasured awards.
