暫譯: 退伍軍人的壓力、創傷與突觸重建

Dr. Maxwell Bennett AO is Emeritus Professor of Neuroscience and held the first University Chair for 'research recognized internationally to be of exceptional distinction' at Sydney University. He graduated in Electrical Engineering and did his doctoral research in Zoology at Melbourne University. His over 400 papers are concerned with research on synaptic connections between nerve cells in the brain, most recently in relation to stress and trauma. Professor Bennett has written fifteen books, mostly concerned with synapses. Most recently he has published Virginia Woolf and Neuropsychiatry; Stress, Trauma & Synaptic Plasticity (with Jim Lagopoulos); and Childhood Stress, Trauma and Synapse Loss. He has been President of the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies (now Science & Technology, Australia), the International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience, and the Australian Neuroscience Society. Professor Bennett founded the Brain and Mind Research Institute (now Centre) at Sydney 20 years ago and subsequently the Mind and Neuroscience Institute (now Thompson Institute). He is at present Chair of Thompson Brain and Mind Healthcare.

馬克斯威爾·班奈特博士（Dr. Maxwell Bennett AO）是神經科學的名譽教授，曾在悉尼大學擔任「國際公認為卓越的研究」的首任大學講座教授。他畢業於電機工程，並在墨爾本大學進行動物學的博士研究。他發表了超過400篇論文，主要研究大腦中神經細胞之間的突觸連接，最近的研究與壓力和創傷有關。班奈特教授撰寫了十五本書籍，大多數與突觸有關。最近，他出版了《維吉尼亞·伍爾夫與神經精神病學》（Virginia Woolf and Neuropsychiatry）、《壓力、創傷與突觸可塑性》（Stress, Trauma & Synaptic Plasticity，與吉姆·拉戈波洛斯合著）以及《童年壓力、創傷與突觸喪失》（Childhood Stress, Trauma and Synapse Loss）。他曾擔任澳大利亞科學與技術協會（Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies，現為Science & Technology, Australia）、國際自主神經科學學會（International Society for Autonomic Neuroscience）以及澳大利亞神經科學學會（Australian Neuroscience Society）的會長。班奈特教授在20年前創立了悉尼的腦與心智研究所（Brain and Mind Research Institute，現為Centre），隨後又創立了心智與神經科學研究所（Mind and Neuroscience Institute，現為Thompson Institute）。目前，他是Thompson Brain and Mind Healthcare的主席。
