Terje Sagvolden (12 February 1945 – 12 January 2011, Oslo) was a Norwegian behavioral neuroscientist, a professor at the Universities of Oslo and Tromsø, and adjunct professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.[1][2][3]

Research

Sagvolden's research career started with his work for his

animal model for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).[6] Subsequently, Sagvolden also showed that the WKY/NCrl rat strain showed inattention, but no impulsivity or hyperactivity, and validated this strain as an animal model of inattentive ADHD.[1][7][8] Over the course of his career, Sagvolden worked not only with rats, but also with humans[9][10] and pigeons.[11]

Editorial activities

Sagvolden was the founding editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Behavioral and Brain Functions, from the time of its establishment in 2005 to his death in 2011.[1][12][13] In 1989 he co-edited, together with Trevor Archer, a book summarizing current research on ADHD,[14] followed in 1998 by a special issue on ADHD for Behavioural Brain Research.[1][15]

Community service

Sagvolden was a member at large of the executive committee of the European Brain and Behaviour Society from 1986 to 1989 and its secretary from 1990 to 1995.[2] Over the last two decades of his life, he was an active supporter of the Society of Neuroscientists of Africa (SONA) and in 1993 played a significant role in its founding.[1] He was subsequently member of SONA's International Advisory Committee[1] and an official internal adviser from 1999 to 2004.[2] In 2000, Sagvolden organized the first IBRO school in Africa at the University of the North (Pietersburg, South Africa).[16] In addition, Sagvolden was one of the "founding fathers" of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies, where he represented Norway on the council from the foundation of the federation until his death.[17]

Outside of the scientific community, Sagvolden was also active in local politics. He was a member of the Lier municipal council for the Conservative Municipal Group from 2003 until his death, and served in the areas of health, culture, childhood, education.[18] In 2003, he was one of the top five candidates to run for mayor.[19]
