Daniel T. Tranel (born October 20, 1957) is an American professor of neurology at the University of Iowa. He has been recognized as a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. [1] While a graduate student at the University of Iowa, he helped establish the Iowa Neurological Patient Registry, which he currently directs. [2] [3] The Iowa Neurological Patient Registry includes cases of unique brain injuries, such as Patient S.M. [4] [5] and Patient E.V.R. [6] Tranel also directs the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Neuroscience at the University of Iowa. [7] He serves as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology [8] and is a contributing author to the 5th edition of Neuropsychological Assessment, a classic textbook in neuropsychology used by most neuropsychologists. [9]
Tranel researches brain-behavior relationships in humans. He uses the lesion method, neuropsychological testing, and functional imaging (including PET and fMRI) to study topics such as retrieval of knowledge and words, emotion, decision-making, fact-processing, nonconscious processing, memory, and psychophysiology. [7] Tranel has authored over 600 research papers and been cited more than 80,000 times. [10] His discoveries include determining that nouns and verbs are stored in separate parts of the brain [11] and that patients with prosopagnosia have physical responses to familiar faces despite lack of conscious recognition. [12]
Tranel rejected the graduate school application of Aurora theater gunman James Holmes. [13] [14]
