David M. Diamond

David M. Diamond is a neuroscientist and professor at the University of South Florida.

Research

Diamond has researched the neurological conditions that lead parents to forget their children in hot cars, a phenomenon commonly termed forgotten baby syndrome. He has also been quoted as an expert regarding the tendency for travelers to forget their belongings, and more generally for people under stress to become more forgetful.

He has explored with Kevin Kip the methodology for the selection of therapies for posttraumatic stress disorder in United States Department of Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Defense facilities.

Education and career

Diamond graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 1980 and completed a PhD in biology at University of California, Irvine in 1985. After postdoctoral research at the UC Irvine Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, he joined the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center as an assistant professor in 1986. He moved to the University of South Florida in 1997, and has been the director of the university's Center for Preclinical and Clinical Research on PTSD since 2007.
