About Cory
Cory Miller is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego, where he advanced from Assistant Professor (2009–2016) to Associate Professor (2016–2023) and full Professor (2023–present). He is also affiliated with the UC San Diego Neurosciences Graduate Program since 2009. Miller earned a B.A. from the University of Colorado at Boulder (1998) and a Ph.D. from Harvard University (2003), followed by postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University (2003–2009). His fieldwork spans multiple primate species, including capuchins in Costa Rica (1995), simakobu monkeys in Indonesia (1996), rhesus monkeys in Puerto Rico (1997–2003), vervet monkeys in Barbados, Uganda, and Cameroon (2000), cotton-top tamarins in Panama (2002), and common marmosets in Brazil (2010–present).
Miller's research focuses on the cortical basis of species-typical natural behaviors in nonhuman primates, particularly common marmosets, investigating sensory recognition, categorization, sensory-motor decision-making, vocal signal recognition during natural communication, memory in the medial temporal lobe, hippocampal spatial navigation integrated with social information, and natural vision in prey capture. His lab employs field studies, behavioral paradigms, single-unit neurophysiology, and optogenetics in freely moving animals. As Principal Investigator, he has secured major NIH grants including R01DC012087 (2012–2028; neural basis of vocal signal recognition), R01NS109294 (2018–2024; neural basis of memory), and R01NS118457 (2020–2025; spatial exploration in primate hippocampus). Key publications include "Representing the dynamics of natural marmoset vocal behaviors in frontal cortex" (Neuron, 2024), "Cross-modal representation of identity in the primate hippocampus" (Science, 2023), "Marmosets: a neuroscientific model of human social behavior" (Neuron, 2016), and "Language discrimination by human newborns and by cotton-top tamarin monkeys" (Science, 2000). Miller received the Cajal Club Krieg Cortical Explorers Award (2024), serves as Council President of the Society for Neuroscience, and is on the Editorial Board of Developmental Neurobiology (2017–present).
