Manfred Maurus



Manfred Maurus is a German scientist, assistant professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, researcher and head of the Department of Behavioral Physiology at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry. Maurus was a pioneer in neuroethology, starting his work with Dr. Detlev Ploog. He specialized in investigating the neural basis of behavior in freely behaving squirrel monkeys ('Saimiri sciureus'), using radio-controlled electrical brain stimulation. Among his coworkers were Helmut Pruscha, Birgit Kühlmorgen, Paul Müller-Preuss, Uwe Jürgens and Renato M.E. Sabbatini.

He is currently retired and lives in Canada.
