Vernon Benjamin Mountcastle(15 de julho de 1918 – 11 de janeiro de 2015) foi um professor emérito de neurociência naUniversidade Johns Hopkins.Ele descobriu e caracterizou a organização colunar docórtex cerebralnos anos 1950. Esta descoberta foi crucial para a pesquisa sobre o córtex cerebral, já que, após o artigo de Mountcastle sobre ocórtex somatossensorial,^[1]quase todos os estudos corticais sobre funções sensoriais tiveram a organização colunar como base.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]
