Larry Swanson

Swanson received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Pomona College, California, in 1968, and a PhD in Neurobiology from Washington University, in 1972.

In 1990 he joined the faculty at the University of Southern California where he was appointed the Milo Don and Lucille Appleman Professor of Biological Sciences in 1995.

The study of rat neuroma projects continued and now is done by Larry Swanson, Joel Hahn, and Olaf Sporns.

[4] This was a big step in his career because only elite members are elected to provide scientific information about ongoing research and methods.

Swanson is the author of two books: From Development to Degeneration and Regeneration of the Nervous System and Neuroanatomical Terminology: A Lexicon of Classical Origins and Historical Foundations.

In 2009, Swanson, along with, Charles E. Ribak, Carlos Aramburo, Edward G. Jones, and Jorge Larriva Sahd, published, From Development to Degeneration and Regeneration of the Nervous System.

Larry Swanson is the author of another book, Neuroanatomical Terminology: A Lexicon of Classical Origins and Historical Foundations,[7] also published through the Oxford University Press in September 2014.

This book consists of neuroanatomical and medical vocabulary which includes a definition while explaining the age and sex to which the term pertains to.

[7] The book also consists of imaging methods that explain terminology that relates to the nervous system while providing network analysis.
