Don Stuss 1941-2019

Don Stuss was one of the foremost contemporary neuropsychologists, world leader in the neuroscientific study of the prefrontal cortex, and founding director of two leading neuroscience institutes (the Rotman Research Institute and the Ontario Brain Institute). Don’s science always started with clinical observations and was centered on questions central to humanity, such as how we view ourselves and others and how we successfully function in the world. In the same vein, Don brought his humanity into all of his interactions, leaving many indelible impressions throughout the world in his personal and professional networks.

The purpose of this website is for people touched by Don to share thoughts and memories as we celebrate his life and grieve his loss. To leave a comment on the page please click here. If you have any photos that you would like to share in the gallery please send them in an email to blevine@research.baycrest.org.

I first met Don Stuss when he was a masters-PhD student at the University of Ottawa and I was a new professor. He was working with T. Picton and R. Broughton on evoked potentials and sleep. I remember meeting him in the corridor accompanied by Ken Campbell. When I asked how their theses were progressing, they enthusiastically replied: We just discovered how the brain works!
​

I followed his career at U of Ottawa particularly in meetings of the sleep research community, but also as Chair of Psychology. On every occasion, he transmitted exceptional enthusiasm about research and clinical work. He contributed significantly to the development of our multidisciplinary collaborative program in Neuroscience. It was a major disappointment when he announced that he was moving to Toronto. We actually never fully recovered from this loss.
