26th Neuropsychology Day and Brenda Milner Lecture

The 26th Annual Neuropsychology Day and Brenda Milner Lecture honours the career and achievements of Professor Brenda Milner, an eminent cognitive neuroscientist and pioneer of the discipline of neuropsychology.

Brenda Milner Lecture: "Stop Thinking About It!" Neural Control Mechanisms For Removing Information From Working Memory

Marie T. Banich, Ph.D., is a Distinguished Professor in the Institute of Cognitive Science and the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is the founding and current Executive Director of the university's Intermountain Neuroimaging Consortium. Her research specializes in using brain imaging techniques, including spectroscopic, anatomical and functional methods, to understand the neural systems that allow us to guide our behavior in a goal-oriented manner, abilities often referred to as executive function. She investigates these issues both in neurologically typical individuals as well as in individuals with traits related to psychopathology (depression, anxiety, substance use) and developmental challenges (learning difficulties, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder). Among her other professional experiences, Prof. Banich is co-author of a textbook entitled Cognitive Neuroscience (5th edition), has been a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Verona, Italy, and served for six years as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience.
