Rebecca Saxe: Investigating Theory Of Mind Using Multi-Voxel Pattern Analysis In Autistic Adults, Olivia G. Cadwell
Rebecca Saxe: Investigating Theory Of Mind Using Multi-Voxel Pattern Analysis In Autistic Adults, Olivia G. Cadwell
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Rebecca Saxe is a neuroscientist in the field of cognitive science and research. Saxe uses multi-voxel pattern analysis (MVPA) in her research to study spatial neural responses in the right temporo-parietal junction (RTPJ) of the human brain and studies neural differences in the brain that allow non-autism spectrum disorder (neurotypical) adults to ascribe intentionality behind the actions of other individuals. While taking in consideration many prior studies, the current results from her research advocates that ASD effects the organization and voxel pattern of information in the ToM brain areas. Thus, the result of Saxe's research suggests that individuals with ASD …

Brenda Milner Leaves A Legacy In The Field Of Neuroscience, Kailee Weiler
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Dr. Brenda Milner is a neuropsychologist who works for the Montreal Neurological Institute and has made incredible discoveries within the field of neuropsychology. Most notably was her work with H.M. Studies on H.M. have lead to vast advances into understanding memory and disorders.
Carol Barnes: A Prominent Voice In The Neuroscience Of Aging, And A Proponent Of Women In Neuroscience, Kara Sherva
Carol Barnes: A Prominent Voice In The Neuroscience Of Aging, And A Proponent Of Women In Neuroscience, Kara Sherva
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Dr. Barnes, as a professor and a graduate mentor, is constantly in contact with the new generation of women neuroscientists, helping shape their future career paths and providing them with an uncountable number of resources. Barnes’ research is centered on the changes that happen in learning, memory and behavior in normal aging, rather than in neurological diseases.
Martha Farah: Integration Of Psychology, Neurology, And Neuroethics, Kerri M. Smith
Martha Farah: Integration Of Psychology, Neurology, And Neuroethics, Kerri M. Smith
Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Martha Farah, a pioneer neuroscientist born in 1955 has taken a special interest in the ethical concerns related to neuroscience (1). Her post-graduate work prompted her to excel throughout various topics in neuroscience and thoroughly incorporate high ethical regards into her own research. This essay examines Farah’s research on visual perception and socioeconomic status, as well as her contributions towards neuroethics.

Patricia Churchland is a remarkable woman, an inspirational figure for other women, as well as scientists and scholars alike. She works and writes as a philosopher, but does not shy away from pointing out some of the problems inherent in the discipline. While readers can anticipate that her assertions will generally side with the explanations of neuroscience, she poses intriguing questions that deal with our notions of the philosophical self.

For decades, Shatz has been at the forefront of neuroscientific research by exploring the processes of the brains’ visual centers and its early development. Her advances in both these realms not only show the amazing capacity of science to comprehend the incomprehensible, but also the infinite potential of women neuroscientists. It is the role of scientists like Shatz to support the involvement of women in the neuroscience community, and to endure as a role model for female scientists of the future.
