Alexander Rudolf "Lex" Cools (The Hague, 1941 – Nijmegen, 7 September 2013) was a Dutch neuroscientist. He was interested in the pharmacology of behavior.
Cools got his Doctor of Philosophy in 1973 at the Radboud University Nijmegen.[1] He was a professor in Nijmegen from 1985 until his retirement in 2006.[2][3]
A special issue of the scientific journal Behavioural Pharmacology was dedicated to his memory in 2014.[4] Cools was one of the founders of the European Behavioural Pharmacology Society. He became its second president.[3] He received that society's Distinguished Achievement Award in 2003.[3]
Cools was the first to propose (1976) the existence of different types of dopamine receptors.[5] This claim is correct but was initially not believed.[3] Cools is also known for his work on the basal ganglia.[3][2][4]
