JOSSELYN, Sheena - Neurosciences & Mental Health, The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute, University of Toronto
Professor Sheena Josselyn is a world leader in investigating how the brain encodes, stores and uses information. Her studies break new ground and have changed the way the field of neuroscience views
memory. The fundamental insights gained by Prof. Josselyn’s research into basic memory processes in
rodents may translate into superior ways of treating - or even preventing - devastating human brain disorders.
