Edward Taub (born 1931, Brooklyn New York)[1] is a behavioral neuroscientist on the faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He is best known for his involvement in the Silver Spring monkeys case, for making discoveries in the area of neuroplasticity, and developing constraint-induced movement therapy; a family of techniques which helps the rehabilitation of people who have developed learned non-use[2] as a result of suffering neurological injuries from a stroke or other cause.
Taub's techniques have helped survivors regain the use of paralysed limbs, and was hailed in 2002 by the American Stroke Association as being "at the forefront of a revolution".[3] The Society for Neuroscience cited Taub's work as one of top 10 translational Neuroscience accomplishments of the 20th century[4] and he was awarded the 2004 Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association.[5]
Taub holds a B.A. from Brooklyn College, a M.A. from Columbia University, and a Ph.D. from New York University. He was married to opera singer Mildred Allen.
