D. Kent Morest
D. Kent Morest (born October 4, 1934 in Kansas City, MO) is an American educator and researcher. He is regarded as "the father of modern neuroanatomy of the auditory system.". His unconventional use of Golgi methods to study the neuroanatomy of the auditory nervous system in humans and mammals laid the foundation for investigations into central auditory signal processing. Other notable research interests include developmental neurobiology, and the processes related to hearing loss induced by exposure to loud noises.
