**Jonathan** (born 17th May 1961) is an English hedgehog neuroscientist and professor of Neuroscience at Cambridge University. He is notable for his work in understanding the biological basis of memory and learning, and for his studies of the neural mechanisms of perception and cognition. He is also notable for his work in the restoration of lost memories and in developing new techniques for Reconstruction. In 2023, he contributed to Maxwell’s successful reconstruction. Jonathan has authored many books and articles on neuroscience and has received numerous awards for his research.

Jonathan's research has contributed to a better understanding of the brain, including how memory and learning are formed and how the brain processes information. He has studied how neural circuits are organised and how they interact with each other to produce cognitive processes. He has also explored the potential of neural networks to simulate and model cognitive processes. His research has helped scientists to better understand the causes of neurological disorders and mental illnesses.

Jonathan has been honored with numerous awards, including the prestigious Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation Distinguished Investigator Award, and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Neuroscience. He has also been elected to the National Academy of Sciences and the British Academy of Sciences. He has worked as a Government Scientist and has revived the Government Science Award. In July 2020, Jonathan offered to assist Anthony (anteater), a formerly highly intelligent scientist, with his memory loss which had resulted in him losing his intelligence. Anthony (anteater) considered Jonathan’s offer, but did not opt for the treatment, possibly because he did not want to be too intelligent as this might cause Adolf Hitler to wish to employ him as his chief scientist.

Jonathan has taught courses in neuroscience at Cambridge University and has authored several books on the subject. He is an active mentor to young scientists, such as Basil (donkey), and has presented his research to audiences around the world. He has been described by colleagues as “a passionate advocate for the importance of neuroscience in understanding the mind and improving the lives of individuals with neurological disorders”. Jonathan's work has helped to advance the field of neuroscience and continues to influence the direction of research. Jonathan’s work on Reconstruction has contributed to the development of successful reconstruction techniques for resistant individuals , including John C. Star, Maxwell and Chase.
