Dr. Miller holds the A.W. and Mary Margaret Clausen Distinguished Professorship in Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco where he directs the Memory and Aging Center. He is a behavioral neurologist whose work in neurodegenerative conditions emphasizes brain-behavior relationships and the genetic and molecular underpinnings of disease. He is the principal investigator of the NIH-sponsored Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center and program project on frontotemporal dementia. Additionally, he helps lead the Tau Consortium, Bluefield Project to Cure Frontotemporal Dementia and Global Brain Health Institute. He was awarded the Potamkin Award from the American Academy of Neurology and elected to the National Academy of Medicine.

“I have pursued a deeper understanding of the brain and behavior relationship by combining detailed studies of the anatomical changes that correlate with changes in behavior. I have reported on the emergence of artistic ability, changes in sexual behaviors, new onset of criminal behavior, and changes in eating behavior. While some of these associations are important to making an accurate diagnosis, others are leading to a deeper understanding of brain functional anatomy and how that functional anatomy may impact disease risk. Associating changes in behavior with changes in the brain also helps to break down stigmas linked to aging and dementia.”
