Rosie Cowell (M2M) Receives a CAREER Award to Study Brain Function

Cognitive neuroscientist Rosie Cowell at the University of Massachusetts Amherst received a five-year, $599,619 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation to develop and test a theory of how memory interacts with fine-grained visual perception and how both brain functions depend on the medial temporal lobe (MTL), which once was thought to be critical for memory but not for visual perception.
