Richard Nakamura is currently Deputy Director of tne National Institute of Mental Health. He received his doctorate in psychology in 1976 at SUNY Stony Brook where his mentor wad Michael Gazzaniga. He was a senior granduate student in a lab that included Joseph LeDoux and Nicholas Brecha. Thereafter he went to the National Institue of Mental Health to do a post-doc with Mortimer Mishkin. Others in the lab included Leslie Ungerleider and Robert Desimone. Unlike the others, Nakamura went in a science administration direction and in 1999 became the Deputy Director of the National Institue of Mental Health. He has served in that position until the present time. In 2001-2002 he was the Acting Director of NIMH.
