Mohsen Jamali is an Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, with training in medicine, neuroscience, and mathematics. His research uses single-neuron electrophysiology and population-level recordings in humans to investigate the neural basis of higher-order cognition, with an emphasis on social behavior and language. This work links cellular and microcircuit-level activity with complex human behavior, investigating how laminar organization and neural connectivity shape hierarchical processing, internal representations, and the mechanisms underlying cognition and communication. He is a recipient of the Banting Postdoctoral Fellowship, the NARSAD Young Investigator Grant, and the 2022 Daniel X. Freedman Award.
