Rogier B. Mars is Professor of neuroscience at the University of Oxford and principal investigator at Radboud University Nijmegen. He is interested in understanding how the brains of different animal species are differently organized and how this affects the species’ behavioral repertoire. To this end, he and his team build tools for comparative neuroscience and apply them to both understand brain evolution and help improve translational neuroscience.
Mars earned his Ph.D. at the Donders Centre at Radboud University in 2006 with a thesis on the contributions of the human premotor cortex to action.
