Mark Noble, Ph.D., is the most unusual and surprising member of our faculty. He has been involved in the fields of stem cell biology and neurobiology for over 35 years, and is considered to be one of the pioneering figures in the field of stem cell biology. The work of his laboratory on the precursor cells that give rise to the myelin-generating oligodendrocytes of the brain and spinal cord included such advances as precursor cell discovery, carrying out the first repair of damaged tissue by transplantation of purified precursors cells that were expanded in vitro, the first extensive studies on the differences between precursor cells in developing versus adult animals, and the first discovery that precursor cell function is regulated by the basic metabolic function of the oxidative status of a cell. All of these discoveries became the foundation for studies in multiple laboratories around the world.
His interests in the treatment of depression led Dr. Noble to contact David Burns to learn more about TEAM CBT, and to a unique role for Dr. Noble in the TEAM CBT community. At his first visit with Dr. Burns, at Stanford University, Dr. Noble was so surprised by the rapid emotional recoveries obtained with TEAM CBT – and particularly the ability of Dr. Burns and his colleagues to obtain recovery from severe depression, anxiety or related disorders in a single two-hour therapy session – that he set out to try and understand TEAM CBT from the perspective of brain function. Recognizing that the current understanding of emotional challenges could not explain the ability of Dr. Burns and colleagues to obtain rapid recovery in individuals who had not had benefit from years, and often decades, of psychotherapy and/or medications, Dr. Noble provided a series of organizing principles that help to understand how and why TEAM CBT is so effective. This research has been associated with the writing and free distribution (under Creative Commons licenses) of multiple guides to TEAM CBT that are used by therapists and their patients around the world. These include A Brief Introduction to TEAM CBT, A Brain User’s Guide to TEAM CBT, Exploring the Daily Mood Log and TEAM CBT is an Advanced Technology of the Mind. Dr. Noble also has recorded multiple podcasts with Drs. David Burns and Rhonda Barovsky, both of whom are teaching in the Warsaw-based training program for therapists who wish to learn TEAM CBT. In addition, Dr. Noble was invited by Dr. Burns to contribute a chapter on the neuroscience of TEAM CBT for Feeling Great, which was the first time that Dr. Burns has invited an outside author to contribute to one of his books.
