Futures in Biotech 33: Dr. Milner’s Explorations Into The Human Mind

Host: Marc Pelletier

Dr. Brenda Milner describes the experiments that led to a revolution in modern neuroscience.

Guest: Dr. Brenda Milner; Dorothy J. Killam Professor of Psychology, Montreal Neurological Institute and Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, McGill University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Her groundbreaking work has influenced generations of psychologists and neuroscientists, and through her unbridled curiosity has revealed many facets to the human mind that were previously unknown.
