Michael A. Häusser is a British scientist who is professor of Neuroscience, based in the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London (UCL).

[5][6][7] Hausser was educated at the University of Oxford where he was awarded a DPhil in 1992[4] for research supervised by James Julian Bennett Jack[4] on neurons in the substantia nigra.

His certificate of election reads: Michael Häusser has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of how the complex dendritic structures of nerve cells contribute to the functional computations that occur in the mammalian brain.

He has achieved this by the introduction and exploitation of advanced techniques, coupled with careful quantitative analysis and modelling of the experimental results.

[1]Häusser was also elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2012.
