Georg F. Striedter is an American scientist and professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the University of California, Irvine.
Striedter obtained his PhD in neuroscience from the University of California, San Diego, under the supervision of Glenn Northcutt in 1990.
His research focuses on the organization and evolution of neuronal circuits in teleost fishes, the evolution of neuronal circuits for bird song learning in parrots and songbirds and how evolution modifies the processes of brain development to generate a broad diversity of adult brains.
Striedter received the C. J. Herrick Award in 1998 for his contributions to comparative neuroanatomy.
He has also received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2009 to work on a new book, "provisionally titled Functional neurobiology: the human nervous system explored in light of the problems it helps us solve.
