Timothy J. Ebner, MD, PhD
 Timothy J. Ebner received his B.S. from the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Minnesota in 1971 and subsequently entered the M.D./Ph.D. program, also at the University of Minnesota, completing his degrees in 1979. He began his career in the Department of Neurosurgery in 1979 and became Director of the Neurosurgery Laboratory in 1984. Dr. Ebner served as the Director of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience from 1995-1998 and has served as the Head of the Department of Neuroscience since 1998. He also holds the Visscher Chair in Physiology.
Dr. Ebner has published extensively on how information is represented spatially and temporally in populations of neurons in the cerebellar cortex. Using optical imaging techniques, he is interested in the spatial processing of information and synaptic plasticity. He is also using optical imaging to examine the abnormalities in the cerebellar cortex in the spinocerebellar and episodic ataxias. In addition, Dr. Ebner has published extensively on the representation of parameters of movements in the activity of neurons in the cerebellar and cerebral cortex of primates during motor behaviors. Studying arm reaching and tracking movements and reach-to-grasp, this work has examined the encoding of direction, amplitude, speed and accuracy in the motor cortex and cerebellar cortex. He has been continuously founded by NIH for over 25 years and is presently a Reviewing Editor of the Journal of Neuroscience.
