Richard Bethlehem is a postdoctoral fellow and research associate at the Autism Research Centre and Brain Mapping Unit at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. He studies integrated neuroimaging and transcriptomics to gain better understanding of the biological underpinnings of typical and atypical neurodevelopment.

Este artigo mudou minha vida: adotando um dos primeiros modelos de neurociência naturalística
Um artigo publicado na PNAS em 1992 mostrou que o canto das aves aumenta a expressão de um gene de resposta imediata no prosencéfalo dessas aves. O estudo revelou a Ribeiro a importância de investigar as respostas moleculares em contextos naturalísticos.
