Dr. Kozlowski retired as an associate Professor in the Department of Physiology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center where he has taught Neurosciences to medical students for 25 years. He was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Texas at Dallas, College of Human Development where he also taught courses in Neuroscience, Biofeedback and Drug and Alcohol Issues in Modern society. He has also taught a number of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate courses at: Michigan State University, University of Missouri at Columbia, University of Rochester, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Colorado State University, University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston and the Behavioral Physiology Institute. He has conducted numerous studies on neuroendocrine, neuroimmune and addictive bodily mechanisms. As Principal Investigator of several federal grants, he was awarded more than one million dollars from both the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation for his research and was either Co-Investigator or Training Director on 14 federally-funded grants. He has published 73 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 25 chapters in books, and 74 abstracts in proceedings from both national and international symposia. He was an invited speaker to symposia held in Japan, the former Czechoslovakia, the former FDR and DDR (Germany), England, Chile, Finland, the former USSR, China, France, Canada and Mexico. He has been a reviewer for four different granting agencies and 13 journals. He was Co-Editor of Histochemistry and a member of the Editorial Board of Neuroendocrinology. He is a co-author of the book, Brain-Endocrine Interaction. III Neural Hormones and Reproduction. He has been major advisor for 7 graduate students and a thesis committee member for 17 students. He has directed and/or lectured in more than 16 different courses of undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. Since 1993, Dr. Kozlowski has devoted the majority of his efforts toward studying the efficacy of IIG-Biofeedback (EEG-BF). This type of neuro-biofeed has proven to be one of the most promising tools now available to train self-regulation. Although this represented a major shift in career goals from that of an experimental animal researcher to the clinical environment, the value of EEG-BF has convinced him that developing a protocol of EEG-BF in conjunction with other modalities could result in an extremely effective treatment program for a number of disorders. He practiced as a biofeedback therapist in Dr. Jon Walker's (Board certified) clinical neurology office from 1995-1998. Dr. Kozlowski received training from many of the leaders in IIF-BF, most notably, Drs. Sigried Othmer, Dale Walters, Eugene Peniston and Eugenia Bodenhamer-Davis. He received certification as a Fellow from the Biofeedback Certification Institute of America in 1997 (#1399). He was incorporating physiologic and psychologic modalities to improve the efficacy of psychotherapy. One method, called Focusing, is used as an intrapersonal process for listening to and addressing, life issues. His mentor for two years was Patricia Pierce, M.Ed., LPC, NCC, a Certified Focusing Trainer. In collaboration with Prof. Val Lebedev, M.D., Ph.D., Dr. Sci., of the Pavlov Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia, he studied the clinical efficacy of transcranial electrical stimulation on a variety of disorders in both human and animal subjects. Dr. Gerald Kozlowski was a great man and will be deeply missed.
