Dr. Celesia received his medical degree magna cum laude from the
University of Genoa Medical School in Italy and his master of
science degree from McGill University Faculty of Medicine in
Montreal, Canada. He completed a Neurology residency at the
Montreal Neurological Institute and a post-doctoral fellowship in
Neurophysiology at the University of Wisconsin Madison.
Dr. Celesia is board certified in Neurology. He is a member of
several medical societies including the American Academy of
Neurology, the American Neurological Association, and the American
Clinical Neurophysiology Society. He was President of the American
Academy of Clinical Neurophysiology in 1993 to 1995. He was
Editor-in-Chief of Electroencephalography and Clinical
Neurophysiology, an international medical journal from 1987 to
1999.
Dr. Celesia has published more than 190 articles on neurological
disorders and has been an invited speaker at various meetings both
nationally and internationally. He has been a Professor of
Neurology at the University of Wisconsin Madison from 1974 to 1982.
At Loyola University of Chicago, Dr. Celesia was Professor and
Chairman of the Department of Neurology and Director of the
Laboratories of Clinical Neurophysiology from 1983 to 1999. In 2006
he was the recipient of the Herbert Jasper Award by the American
Clinical Neurophysiology Society.
He is internationally known for his research in auditory and visual
disorders. In 1969 in collaboration with F. Puletti he mapped the
auditory cortex of humans undergoing surgery for the treatment of
intractable epilepsy.
In 2005 he edited a book on “Disorders of Visual Processing and in
2013 a book on Disorders of Peripheral and Central Auditory
Processing both published by Elsevier, Amsterdam.
Dr. Celesia has helped train many neurologists and clinical
neurophysiologists. Four of his former fellows are now chairing
department of neurology or neurophysiology.
As a member of American Neurological Association he has chaired the
Ethic Committee in 1994. Together with Dr. F. Plum he represented
the ANA in the Multi-Society task Force on Persistent Vegetative
State.
As a liaison from the IFCN (International Federation of Clinical
Neurophysiology) to the Latino American Chapter of IFCN he has
fostered clinical neurophysiology education in South America.
In July, 2004 he retired as a professor of Neurology at Loyola and
is now an adviser to the department of clinical neurophysiology at
Kyushu University in Fukuoka Japan, an ex-officio member of the
board of The Chicago Council for Science and Technology. He is
member of the research committee of the Instituto Chiossone for the
Blind in Genova Italy and of the European Task Force on the
Vegetative State.
He volunteers at the Field Museum of Chicago Department of Zoology
were he has contributed to the research of lions in Africa and
recently published the effects of changing global climate on the
distribution of the African lion.
Professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences and Director for
the Center of Cognitive Neuroscience at UC Irvine, Dr. Hickok’s
research focuses on the neuroanatomy of language and cognitive
neuroscience. He serves as Associate Editor for Human Brain Mapping
and for Cognitive Neuropsychology and is past-Chair for the Society
or the Neurobiology of Language. He has authored 88 journal
publications (h-index 26), 18 book chapters, and is editing a
volume entitled The Functional anatomy of Language for MIT Press.
