Deepak Pandya (born December 6, 1932) is a neuroanatomist who is best known for his contributions to our understanding of cortical and subcortical brain connectivity in the macaque using tract-tracing methods. Events 1060 - Béla I of Hungary is crowned king of Hungary 1240 - Mongol invasion of Rus: Kiev Year 1932 ( MCMXXXII) was a Leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. Neuroanatomy is the science for localizing function in the Human brain. He was born at Julasan, Mehsana District Gujarat in India. India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country He was orphaned, but completed his I. S. in 1953 from Gujarat University in India. The Gujarat University is the statewide institution affiliating many reputed colleges across the state of Gujarat, India. After obtaining his M. D. degree from Gujarat University in 1957 (and interning in V. S. Hospital in Junagadh till 1958), he went to the United States and did his internship and residency training in Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. See Junagarh for disambiguation Junagadh is a city and a Municipal corporation, the headquarters of Junagadh district The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Cleveland is a City in the US state of Ohio and the County seat of Cuyahoga County, the most populous county in the state Ohio ( is a Midwestern state of the United States. As part of the Great Lakes region, Ohio has long been a cultural and geographical crossroads
In 1964, he joined the Department of Anatomy at Case Western Reserve, as a postdoctoral fellow.

The meaning of the word professor ( Latin: professor, person who professes to be an expert in some art or science teacher of highest rank) varies During his postdoctoral fellowship and subsequent period in Boston, Dr. A postdoctoral fellow (colloquially " post-doc " is a temporary research position held by a person who has completed his or her doctoral studies A fellowship is the period of medical training that a Physician may undertake after completing a specialty training program. Pandya focused his research investigations on cortico-cortical connections. The cerebral cortex is a structure within the Brain that plays a key role in Memory, Attention, perceptual Awareness, Thought, In 1969 his laboratory moved to Boston City Hospital. During this time he was appointed as a lecturer in Experimental Neuropathology at Harvard Medical School, and he participated in teaching the Neuroscience course at both schools. Neuropathology is the study of Disease of nervous system tissue usually in the form of either small surgical biopsies or whole autopsy brains Neuroscience is a field devoted to the scientific study of the nervous system In 1973 Dr. Pandya joined the Veteran's Administration Medical Center in Bedford, Massachusetts, as a staff internist. Bedford is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. He practiced clinical medicine while continuing his research studies and teaching, until his retirement in 1995. After this, Dr. Pandya moved his office to the Department of Anatomy & Neurobiology at Boston University School of Medicine. Anatomy (from the Greek anatomia, from ana separate apart from and temnein, to cut up cut open is a branch of Biology that is the consideration Neurobiology is the study of cells of the Nervous system and the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior
Over the past several years, Dr. Pandya, along with many colleagues, has made significant contributions in the field of connectivity of cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is a structure within the Brain that plays a key role in Memory, Attention, perceptual Awareness, Thought, Several postdoctoral and Ph. D. students have received training under Dr. Pandya. His research works have been internationally recognized and he has presented his work in conferences in North America and Europe. Currently he is continuing his research studies on comparative brain architectonics in the monkey and humans, as well as connectional studies in the monkey. A monkey is any member of either the New World monkeys or Old World monkeys two of the three groupings of Simian Primates the third group being
Deepak Pandya and his Slovenian-American wife, Bonnie, are the parents of American astronaut Sunita Williams. Sunita Williams (born September 19 1965) is a United States Naval officer and a NASA Astronaut. [1]
