Wikipedia description:
Carl Wayne Cotman (5 April 1940 – 5 August 2024) was an American neuroscientist. He was a professor of neurology at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, where he was also the founding director of the Institute for Brain Aging and Dementia and the Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders (UCI MIND). He is known for researching the neurochemistry of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. His research has shown, for example, that physical exercise increases production of brain-derived neurotropic factor, which protects neurons from aging-related damage and promotes the growth of new ones. Cotman died in August 2024.
