Charles Gross is an American neuroscientist and the Victor and Gwendolyn Beinfield Professor of Neuroscience at Princeton University. He is known for his work on the cerebral cortex and for his contributions to the understanding of how the brain processes information.

Born in New York City in 1942, Gross was the only child of Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. His father was a tailor and his mother a homemaker. Gross was an excellent student, and he excelled in both science and mathematics. He attended the Bronx High School of Science, where he developed a love for physics. After graduating from high school, he enrolled at Columbia University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in physics in 1963.

Gross then went on to earn a Ph.D. in physiology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1967. After completing his doctoral work, he joined the faculty of Princeton University, where he has been a member of the faculty ever since.

Gross’s research has focused on the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions such as language, memory, and decision-making. He has made important contributions to our understanding of how the cortex processes information. In particular, he has shown how the cortex is organized into distinct regions that are specialized for different functions.

Gross is also known for his work on the development of the brain. He has studied how experience affects the brain’s structure and function, and how the brain changes as we learn new skills.

In addition to his work as a researcher, Gross is also an accomplished teacher. He has taught courses on neuroscience at both the undergraduate and graduate level, and he has mentored many students who have gone on to successful careers in science.

Gross has been recognized for his contributions to science with numerous awards and honors. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine, and he has received the National Medal of Science, the highest scientific honor bestowed by the United States government.

Gross is married to Annemarie Weber, a professor of psychology at Princeton University. They have two children.

Charles Gross is one of the most accomplished neuroscientists of our time. His groundbreaking work has helped to revolutionize our understanding of how the brain works, and his dedication to teaching has inspired generations of students to pursue careers in science.
