Guy McKhann, M.D.

Guy McKhann, M.D.

Guy McKhann, M.D., the scientific advisor to the Dana Foundation, studies the delineation of the neurological outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting and the elucidation of the mechanism of a form of Guillen Barre Syndrome. He has also been active in defining the criteria for Alzheimer’s disease. McKhann attended Harvard University, and obtained his doctoral degree from Yale Medical School. After working at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, he took his residency in pediatric neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital. His first academic position was at Stanford University, where he founded the Pediatric Neurology service. He then moved to Johns Hopkins University Medical Center, where he was the first director of the neurology department.

Pioneering neurologist Guy McKhann looks at how our understanding of the brain, and the capabilities of neurology, have changed over a quarter of a century.

Brain Death in an Age of Heroic Medicine

When the technology of heart transplantation and life-support machines overtook the traditionally accepted criterion of death—cessation of heartbeat—an alternative criterion emerged. Irreversible loss of brain function, or “brain death,” for all the debates and recent attacks it has provoked, has worked well as a determinant of death, argues Dr. Guy McKhann.
